Ægæerhavet, ca 1970
Den britiske fregat "Ariadne" er forsynet med ganske avanceret udstyr. Officielt til havdybdemålinger, men uofficielt til meget andet. Skibet ledes af en kaptajn Talbot.

Description
The gripping tale of sabotage at sea, from the acclaimed master of action and suspense. In the heart of the Aegean Sea, a luxury yacht is on fire and sinking fast. Minutes later, a four-engined jet with a fire in its nose-cone crashes into the sea. Is there a sinister connection between these two tragedies? And is it an accident that the Ariadne, a NATO spy ship, is the only vessel in the vicinity - the only witness? Only Commander Talbot of the Ariadne can provide the answers as he uncovers a deadly plot involving drugs and terrorism - leading to the heart of the Pentagon.
