Firing Point by George Wallace

Firing Point by George Wallace

Below the polar ice cap, an American nuclear submarine moves quietly through the murky sea, tailing a new Russian sub. But the clandestine game of hide-and-seek between opposing captains ends with an explosion and flooding as the Russian sub sinks in a thousand feet of water. The American sub rushes to help, only to join its former quarry in the deep.

The situation ignites tensions around the world. As both Washington and Moscow prepare for what appears to be the beginnings of World War I, the US Toledo -- led by untested Captain Joe Glass -- speeds to the location to give aid. Glass soon discovers that the incident was no accident. And the men behind it have yet to make their final move -- a move only Glass and his crew can stop.

Raised on a farm in eastern Ohio, Commander George Wallace CDR USN (ret) served twenty-two years on nuclear submarines. He learned submarining on two of Admiral Rickover's famous Forty One for Freedom, the USS John Adams (SSBN 620) and the USS Woodrow Wilson (SSBN 624), out of Charleston SC. CDR Wallace was the Executive Officer on the Sturgeon class nuclear attack submarine Spadefish (SSN 668) out of Norfolk VA and commanded the Los Angeles class nuclear attack submarine USS Houston (SSN 713) out of San Diego CA and Pearl Harbor HI.
An avid athlete, Commander Wallace was a member of the 1994 All Navy Ironman Team that represented the Navy in competing at the Ironman Triathlon World Championship at Kona, Hawaii. He has competed in many marathons, triathlons and ultra-marathons.
Commander Wallace and his wife Penny now make their home in Granada Hills, California.
