Hunters Of The Deep

DISSENT FROM WITHIN… Sea Fox Clansmen are space-bound, nomadic warrior-merchants who live and die aboard their naval vessels, going planetside only to negotiate a new deal or for combat—often the same thing for a Fox. Divided into five autonomous Khanates, they are led by the Khan of Clan Sea Fox. Their mission: to make deals and acquire the revenue needed to expand Sea Fox's honor, glory, and power... For more than a decade, ovKhan Sha Clarke has watched his Spina Khanate achieve greater wealth and fame than any other. A burning passion drives him to free Spina Khanate from the shackles of Clan Sea Fox—no matter the cost... Fiercely loyal to Clan Sea Fox, ovKhan Petr Kalasa knows Sha is plotting rebellion, but even he cannot guess the lengths to which the other ovKhan will go to achieve his goal. Attempting to stop his rival, he baits Sha into a one-on-one duel. The result is a disaster that vividly demonstrates how much Petr will have to sacrifice to put an end to Sha's machinations. Yet his suspicions of Sha will not let him rest. Petr has lost one battle, but—as the Clan as his witness—he will not lose the war...

Driven by jealousy, ovKhan Sha Clarke prepares a rebellion against Clan Sea Fox in an attempt to control his own faction of warriors and gain wealth, power, and honor, but MechWarrior ovKhan Petr Kalasa will not let Sha succeed. Original.

Submariners shun the surface - with good reason. On top of the water they are exposed and vulnerable; immersed, they are cloaked with invisibility. Rarely does a sub skipper take his boat above periscope depth while out of port, and he would not risk coming even that close to the surface if there were another way to receive orders by radio and to check his position from time to time. Submarines have found employment in conflicts ranging from India to the Falkland Islands. Throughout, in every operation, with every kind of submarine, the watchword would be secrecy. 'The whole name of the game is stealth,' declares Captain Fred P. Gustavson, a former Sturgeon-class attack sub skipper. 'submarines do not fight fair. If it turns into a fair fight, the submariner ought to withdraw and come back another time.
