The usual terrorists have hijacked a nuclear submarine to start WWIII and Nick Carter has to stop them. Adequate, but forgettable.

Nick takes on an international conspiracy that comes within hours of setting off WWIII.
Everything that makes one of these books a success is here. Beautiful women, graphic death, chain-smoking super-agent, and more.
Unlike a few of the other books I read recently, Nick did not get his backside handed to him multiple time. Here, he really proved that he earned the title 'Killmaster'. The series is now getting into the era where so many titles were switching out the USSR for right-wing conspiracies, but the writer kept the politics out of it for the most part.
A fun entry and a fast read.
