"As supertankers ply their routes to the far shores of the world, mysterious attacks that would have been familiar to sailors 140 years ago - when superstition ruled the waves - begin once again. The attacks are so sudden and vicious that many of the great ships are lost without a single distress call. The navies of the world start a frenzied search, but even these powerful ships disappear without a trace." "Enter the Event Group, the most secret organization in U.S. history, armed with proof that history is repeating itself. It's now up to Colonel Jack Collins and his team to sort fact from fiction in the amazing stories coming from the graveyard of the world's oceans." "Legend comes to life in the form of Leviathan, the most advanced undersea vessel in history. Equipped with nearly undetectable nuclear weapons, incredible stealth technology, and staffed by a crew of strangely alienlike seamen, Leviathan seeks to reclaim the seas for a sinister creature known only in myths and sea legends. As the Event Group members quickly realize, their assignment is a suicide mission: the only way to defeat this superpower is from within." "But as a team of Event Group members prepare to infiltrate the mysterious Leviathan, the organization suddenly falls victim to its own plan. For the first time ever, their top-secret base in Nevada is overrun by unknown invaders bent on destroying historical evidence in the archives - as well as anyone who gets in their way. The security breach can only mean one thing: there's a mole in the Event Group." As the Event Group members at home sift through the rubble of their headquarters, looking for clues to the mysterious and devastating invasion,Jack Collins and his team have no choice but to battle their way out of the great submarine miles below the ocean's surface, in the deepest trench known to man. With time running out, the team find themselves in the lair of creatures as beautiful as they are terrifying - and deadly.
