In the remote, frozen waters of the Arctic Ocean, the high-powered and technically advanced submarine USS Montana is in peril. Adrift and in flames, the boat--and the entire crew--could be lost. The only team close enough to get to them in time is led by Marine doctor and bio-terror expert Joe Rush. With only thirty-six hours before the surviving crew perish, Joe and his team must race to rescue the Montana and ensure that the boat doesn't fall into enemy hands. Because a fast-approaching foreign submarine is already en route, and tensions may explode. But that's the least of their troubles, for the surviving sailors are not alone on the submarine. Something is trapped with them. Something deadly lethal. Something that plagued mankind long ago, when it devastated the entire world. And the crew of the Montana has unknowingly set it free. Now, Joe and his team must not only find a way to save the Montana and her crew, but stop a lethal horror of apocalyptic consequence from being unleashed on all humanity.

(2015) U.S. Marine and bioterror specialist Joe Rush is sent to the arctic where the crew of a nuclear submarine have fallen ill with an unidentified sickness. But the Marines aren't the only ones interested: someone has been feeding information to the Chinese, who send a sub of their own. It's a pretty good technothriller, acknowledges the effects of warming on the arctic, and offers some difficult moral dilemmas.

ErinSBecker I really enjoyed this one and the second Joe Rush novel. As a microbiologist, they were satisfyingly on point with the symptomology. 2y
swynn @ErinSBecker Oh, nice! It please me when I know an author gets the details right. My library has the first two books in the series, so I expect I'll read at least the next one. 2y

The first two books of the James Rush series were fantastic (bonus points for biological accuracy). The third sucked hard (I read all but the last twenty pages and just couldn't make myself read any further). I may give the fourth (and last) in the series a go at some point though, based on the strength of the first two.

Ruthiella Why‘d he crap out on book three I wonder? 🤔 (edited) 5y
ErinSBecker @Ruthiella - I know! It was soooo disappointing. The first two were so clever. I managed to guess the plot twists but I think only because I have a microbiology degree. They were good! I really ought to try the fourth one 5y

An arctic thriller I would never have come across without #thebookcaseclub. Fun to discover new authors and stories. ....and learn about a part of the world I have never experienced.
