The Steel Albatross by Scott Carpenter is a techno-thriller novel about a revolutionary, top-secret submarine and the dangerous mission surrounding its first real test. The story follows Navy Commander Rick Tallman, who is assigned to pilot the Steel Albatross, an experimental underwater craft capable of unprecedented speed, stealth, and maneuverability. When the vessel is sent on a covert operation in the Pacific near Guam, the mission escalates into an international crisis involving political tension, espionage, and an intense underwater confrontation. "Adventure and authenticity superb...I had a sly sensation I was reading highly classified material with every turn of the page" (Clive Cussler).
