Dagger Quest (Cutter Kauai Sea Adventures, #1) / Cutter Kauai Sea Adventures (ePub)

An aging Coast Guard patrol boat is all that stands between the world and nuclear annihilation!

The world stands on the brink of nuclear disaster when a Russian bomber collides with a U.S. fighter off the Florida coast and launches a nuclear-tipped hypersonic missile which disappears somewhere in the Forida Keys. With the fate of the world in the balance, an aging Coast Guard cutter and its crew are the only ones who can save us.

Led by Captain Sam Powell, the brave crew must embark on a dangerous mission to prevent a global nuclear conflict by finding the missile's warhead before a powerful international crime syndicate can get their hands on it. But time is running out and their courage, skill, and friendship will be tested as they race against the clock.

If you enjoyed Marc Cameron's Jack Ryan novels and Mark Greaney's Gray Man series, you'll love Dagger Quest! Taut and action-packed, this thrilling sea adventure is full of technical authenticity and powerful emotions.

"Submerging readers in the octane-fueled action of America's coastal military, Dagger Quest by Edward M. Hochsmann is a highly entertaining cross between a seafaring adventure and a high-stakes military drama... the authenticity of the prose and the detailed technical writing makes readers forget this isn't a direct account of an international incident. Hochsmann also captures the pace, attitude, hierarchy, and seriousness of life on board a cutter, evidence of his own law enforcement experience in the Coast Guard." Self-Publishing Review
