WHEN THE WORLD BURNS, THE LAST HOPE OF HUMANITY LIES BENEATH THE WAVESBy J Thomas HuntonRecorded TrackLength11h 10m
About this audiobook
The USS Pennsylvania, a nuclear ballistic missile submarine, departs Pearl Harbor on a routine mission, with Captain Josh Turnbuckle at the helm. Unbeknownst to the crew, a nuclear war erupts above, sparked by China and escalated by North Korea and Russia. For 45 days, the submarine remains submerged, unaware of the world's collapse, as communication failures leave them isolated. Tension rises as Turnbuckle struggles to understand the silence. When they surface, hoping for orders, they find only static and decide to return to Pearl Harbor.
