The Iron Man
Author: John Watson
 
David meets Goliath on the high seas!
The Stalin: the largest, fastet and most heavily-armed battleship in the world is making its maiden voyage - half a century after it was built. 
Why?
The men who have requisitioned it know why - but they're not telling the crew. Captain Yakov Zof thinks he knows why. Like many others betrayed by the collapse of the Soviet Union, he is turning, against his will, to crime.
Two defenceless ships in the Pacific soon know why.
Then the alarm bells start ringing in the nerve centres of Britain and America. The Stalin is not just committing the most audacious act of piracy ever seen on the high seas. It is embarking on something altogether more sinister. Something that will test the might of their high-tech weaponry, will pit sophistication against sheer brute force - and lead to the last great battle between the dinosaurs of the sea . . .
