Fact: A live nuclear bomb lies in shallow
water off the U.S. coast – one of dozens lost
around the world!
The year is 1958. A B-47 bomber carrying
a live nuclear weapon is returning from a
simulated attack on the Soviet Union when
it collides with an F-86 Sabre jet fighter
plane. In a desperate attempt to land safely,
the crew requests and is granted permission
to jettison the bomb. But instead of being
over deep water as they believe, they are just
off the coast of the southern United States
in less than 20 feet of water when they drop
the bomb.
Based on this true event, The Pass takes
you inside the cockpit of the bomber for this
harrowing experience before joining Quint
and Dawson over fifty years later in this
sequel to The Keys. They are on a mission to
locate and recover the lost bomb–a mission
that quickly becomes a wild race against a
group of terrorists bent on detonating the
bomb in their twisted jihad against the U.S.
With one of the worst hurricanes in history
bearing down on them. Quint’s team is
pushed to the limit as they struggle against
overwhelming odds and a well-armed enemy
that will stop at nothing to get the bomb.

The Pass Reviews
-
Another of Wilem's action packed rollicking yarns set in warm waters was hard to put down. Though in my opinion, not as good as Wilem's debut titled, "The Keys", this one includes plenty of action - perhaps even over the top with it along with a smattering of violence that some readers may find off putting. Regardless, Wilem's novels easily rival those of Cussler's in the same genre, so I'll be reading the next in the series.
