Dangerous Ground

Jerry Mitchell, a fighter pilot grounded by an injury after a crash, fights the Navy’s plan to give him a medical discharge. Instead, he joins the submarine service, and fights to become accepted as a valuable member of the crew. His first boat, USS Memphis, was scheduled to be decommissioned, but is instead assigned one last mission, a “milk run” into waters near the Russian cost. Surveying the seabed for Soviet-era radioactive waster, they find something that should not be there. Along the way, he must deal with a hostile captain, a corrupt Russian officer, and in the end, a threat nobody had expected.
