Captain Lawrence S. WIGLEY USN (Retired) has written his first novel MISSION COMPLETE which has been published by Publish America. Revolves around terrorist takeover of a U.S. nuclear attack submarine
June 17, 2005 (Press Release) --
Commander Bruce Stewart, the commanding officer of the USS JACKFISH (SSN945) attends a highly classified conference where it was revealed that an ultimatum was delivered to the President of the United States from a Soviet/Cuban terrorist group demanding a ransom of money and the disarmament of the United States strategic nuclear weapons arsenal. The ultimatum would be met or the terrorist group would launch nuclear cruise missiles from the pirated U.S. nuclear attack submarine TIGERFISH in five days, Christmas Eve. The missiles would annihilate the cities of Norfolk, Washington, New York and Groton, Connecticuit.
The TIGERFISH had been pirated while at anchor off Piraeus, Greece, the victim of a well executed plan by an integrated Soviet/ Cuban team. The submarine was still operated by its American crew who were at present receiving brutality and torture under the guns of the Soviet and Cuban guards.
The options available to the President are to conduct a nuclear preemtive first strike, to honor the ultimatum. or to dispatch Commander Stewart and the JACKFISH to seek out and sink the TIGERFISH.
The President gambles at his best option-Stewart and the JACKFISH.
Captain Wigley, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, spent twenty-nine years on active duty with most of that time associated with nuclear submarines, including command of a nuclear attack submarine for over four years, command of the submarine repair ship in the Holy Lock, Scotlan, and command of the construction and operation of the TRIDENT Submarine Bas in Bangor, Washington. This backgound provided him the knowledge and operational experience to capture all the details necessary to write a best seller.
Responses to date to MISSION COMPLETE have been encouraging. One reviewer commented: "A rare and unique story told by an outstanding Military Leader.. his profound knowledge and experience in Naval Operations has qualified him to write a story that 'may or may not be true'. After reading this book, I look forward to a movie that will surely follow."
