Mac's divers temporarily disable the sub, and "Halibut" escapes to Guam, dogged by the sub Skipper. They retrieve missile parts from a Soviet missile-test splash-zone, getting caught in a sonar-web set by the crafty skipper of an old Soviet diesel submarine. They install a tap on an underwater communications cable at 400 feet, and narrowly escape death when a storm snaps "Halibut's" anchor cables. Riding the nuclear submarine "Halibut," Mac and his saturation diving team surreptitiously enter the Soviet-controlled Sea of Okhotsk on a proof-of-concept mission. "Mac" MacDowell details a breathtaking series of events during a super-secret intelligence gathering operation at the height of the Cold War. In a fast-paced, personal narrative, J.R. A super-secret, off-the-books spy organization a security-clearance starting at Top Secret and going up from there an attack by giant squid during a thousand-foot dive while breathing an exotic gas a cat's whisker escape from death during a three-day decompression - and that's just the first two chapters of "Operation Ivy Bells," before the action really gets underway.
