Choosers of the Slain (USS Cunningham Quintet #1):
On a frigid fall morning in 2006, a sudden attack against a British scientific outpost in Antarctica heralds the beginning of an invasion of the seventh continent. Resurgent after the Falklands war, Argentina has launched an armed takeover of the Antarctic Peninsula, in an attempt to seize the last untapped pool of natural resources on the planet. The global community can only look on helplessly in the face of a continuing Argentine military buildup and a looming polar winter. One hope remains, a lone U.S. Navy vessel docked in the harbor of Rio de Janeiro. The guided missile destroyer Cunningham is at the cutting edge of naval technology, the world’s first oceangoing stealth warship. Her 580-foot hull is invisible to hostile radar, while her own sophisticated Aegis sensor arrays grant her mastery of a 250-sea-mile radius. On board she carries a bristling complement of sophisticated weaponry: two SAH-66 Sea Comanche helicopters with nose-mounted APG-65 radar, Boeing Brave 2000 reconnaissance drones piloted by virtual reality helmet, and a full spectrum of the Navy’s deadliest precision-guided munitions. She is sleek, swift, secretive – and untested. Likewise untested is her commanding officer, Amanda Lee Garrett, U.S.N. Brilliant, bold, and tenacious, she leads her crew into the storm-wracked waters of Drake Passage. Together, they confront not only the massed might of the Argentine air force and navy, but the deadly, ice-clad majesty of the Antarctic itself. At stake, the destiny of the earth’s last frontier.
Sea Strike (USS Cunningham Quintet #2):
When Taiwan’s Nationalist navy charges across the East China Sea in attack formation, the People’s Republic rushes battalions into the defensive lines along the coast and hurriedly prepares its Han nuclear subs for deployment. Commander Amanda Lee Garrett and the hypertech stealth destroyer "USS Cunningham" are ordered to lead the dangerous sub hunt. Commander Garrett employs the Cunningham’s full arsenal with swift and exacting precision. She corners a Han sub in heart-stopping, slow-speed chase that results in an accident miles below the surface, and in the harrowing finale, steers her five-hundred-foot destroyer up into a narrow, muddy Shanghai estuary in pursuit of a submarine only to find her exit blocked.
Sea Fighter (USS Cunningham Quintet #3):
In Sea Fighter, Garrett heads a United Nations task force made up of units from Great Britain, France, and the United States. Her mission: halt a rapidly escalating African civil war. A renegade Nigerian general has invaded Sierra Leone and Guinea, and is determined to establish a new "West African Union" no matter the human cost. Garrett’s only hope is an arsenal of untested weapons: a flotilla of fast, heavily armed stealth hovercraft designed specifically for the deadly coastal sea war of the twenty-first century; a cybernetic intelligence-gathering system using long-range radar and a fleet of drone reconnaissance aircraft; and a gigantic ocean-borne fortress that can be anchored off an enemy’s coast, virtually at the doorstep of their capital city.
Target Lock (USS Cunningham Quintet #4):
The disappearance of an industrial research satellite puts Commander Amanda Lee Garrett and her Navy task force on the hunt for a high-tech pirate, a criminal genius whose own sea force turns the mission into an international crisis.
