In 1954, Vixen 03, a plane, bound for the Pacific carrying thirty-six Doomsday bombs-canisters armed with quick-death germs of unbelievable potency-vanished. Vixen crashed into an ice-covered lake in Colorado. In 1968, Dirk Pitt discovers the wreckage of Vixen 03. But two deadly canisters are missing. They're in the hands of a terrorist group whose mission is to sail a battleship seventy-five miles up the Potomac and blast Washington, D.C., to kingdom come.
