Silent Waters

Power is the deadliest weapon of all.

By: Jan Coffey, May McGoldrick

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When a U.S. nuclear submarine disappears in the North Atlantic, the President wastes no time declaring a national emergency. Rights are suspended. Fear is weaponized. The nation is told the crisis is unavoidable—and necessary.

But aboard the missing submarine, Commander Darius McCann and ship superintendent Amy Russell uncover a chilling truth. The mission has been manipulated. Orders don’t align. And the supposed threat bearing down on American soil appears carefully engineered rather than accidental.

As panic grips the country, two NCIS investigators on land begin pulling at threads the administration insists must remain buried. What they discover points not to an external enemy, but to a President willing to manufacture catastrophe to consolidate power, silence opposition, and extend his control at any cost.

With millions of lives hanging in the balance, McCann and Russell are forced into an impossible choice: expose the truth and risk plunging the nation into chaos—or remain silent and allow a corrupt leader to reshape America through fear.

Set against the claustrophobic tension of a submerged battlefield and the ruthless machinations of the White House, Silent Waters is a gripping political techno-thriller about deception, power, and how easily democracy can be drowned when lies rise to the surface.

A nuclear submarine hijacked days before the Presidential election. ★★★★★
Silent Waters is the first page-turner that I have read in a long time. It has a well-written story with believable settings and characters to care about. Basically a nuclear attack sub is high-jacked from its maintenance slip. Why? Who were the perpetrators and what did they want? When the answers are revealed you realize that all the clues were there for the reader to process. ★★★★★
I have always been a fan of military submarine books, but this one will grab you and pull you into one of the most interesting scenarios I've ever ran across. I couldn't stop reading once I started. You talk about a page turner that will keep you enthralled. This is a superb work of fiction that reads like something that could happen today. Recommend this book highly and I don't do very many recommendations!!!! ★★★★★

Very fast paced

1st virtual voice I’ve listened to that I didn’t find the narrator bothersome. I enjoyed listening to it, & the price was right
