Hunter Killer (Admiral Arnold Morgan, #8)

Saudi Arabia, the world's leading oil nation, is on the brink of revolution. Inside the opulent palaces and lavish mansions, the royal family is ransacking the country's dwindling coffers while the desert kingdom seethes with unrest. Appalled at his family's extravagant lifestyle, Crown Prince Mohammed vows to end the careless and destructive rule and sets in motion a top-secret operation to destroy the Saudi oil industry and bankrupt the monarchy. To do so, he must enlist the help of an ally, a nation with a naval power, willing to help in return for a share of the oil wealth. Mohammed turns to France. Her lethal Hunter-Killer submarines can inflict devastating damage on the massive oil installations on the shores of the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. Objective: to shift the power structure of the world's oil giant.Under the command of the mysterious Colonel Jacques Gamoudi, the ferocious battle for the desert kingdom begins. As the world's oil markets plunge into chaos, Admiral Arnold Morgan, former Security Advisor to the President, and Lt. Commander Jimmy Ramshawe are summoned to the White House, only to discover that Gamoudi has been joined by none other than Morgan's arch-enemy, HAMAS General Ravi Rashood, in the battle for the capital city of Riyadh. Gamoudi, nicknamed Le Chasseur or The Hunter, is now hunted himself by both French and American Special Forces - one trying to assassinate and silence him forever, the other desperate to take him alive and force a public confession of France's subversive actions.
