Led by ex-navy SEAL Mike Chambers, the Trident Force is the blackest of the black ops. Their specialty: fighting the war on terror at sea. Handpicked for their skills above and below the waterline, they do the jobs no one else can handle—and the jobs no one else could survive. The Aurora Australis is the ultimate luxury cruise ship, and it has become the ultimate target. Loaded with politicians, celebrities and international jet-setters, the Australis is touring the Antarctic as part of an environmental summit. But global warming takes a back seat when a more immediate threat emerges: terrorists threaten to sink the ship. Now, the Trident Force must infiltrate before the plot ends in the dark freezing deep.

Following 1990s defence cuts, Britain's armed forces are stretched quite severely. Successive governments have preferred buying US nuclear technology and intelligence to working with European partners. The US has disengaged from Europe, leaving the NATO countries with no common purpose. The contributors to this volume, economists and defence analysts outline how UK governments need to: establish priorities within budget constraints, exploring a division of labour with European partners; restructure the army towards forces suitable for low-intensity interventions and peace support; rationalize defence production and procurement; adapt the bipolar Cold War arms control regimes to the new multipolar world; and redefine the requirement for an independent British nuclear capability.
