In 1969, U.S. Naval Commanders Tommy Carruther and Ned Sylvester
are ordered to the United Kingdom to serve with the Royal Navy in
their fight against the Irish Republican Army (IRA). They must
assess the operational abilities of the "Chariot," a manned, deadly
weapon used by the Royal Navy to slip into anchorages and disable
enemy ships. The "Chariot" is configured like a bicycle built for
two crew members and will be used to make raids on shipboard
weapons caches in the Republic of Ireland.
As the two commanders are deployed, a rogue submarine, the "Red
Dragon," arrives in the Irish Sea to assist the IRA in planning
bomb attacks in London. A Chinese terrorist named Mark Hong, an
intelligent and ruthless man with connections to several communist
countries, commands the vessel, as ordered by Chairman Mao. Hong
plans to help the IRA in their fight against the British. But will
the British and Americans be able to thwart the plot and destroy
the "Red Dragon"?
With action raging from the Isle of Man to the Republic of
Ireland and the heart of London, "Chariotfish: Submariners Battle
the IRA" is a fast-paced thriller, bursting with suspense and
surprise.
