The IceBreaker

by Rayford E. Hammond

As the U.S. Navy icebreaker, Polarwind, rams through the frozen Antarctica, relations between some of the ship's junior officers and the domineering captain soon become as chilly as the air around them. The tension finally comes to a head when in a few blurred, flashing seconds the commanding officer disappears into the icy waters and the icebreaker's First Lieutenant, Bob Stevens, stands accused of pushing him overboard.Navy JAG lawyer Andrew Jackson Burke must use all his technical skills and southern wiles in an attempt to attain acquittal, as even the confused and frightened lieutenant is uncertain whether he pushed the captain or tried to save him.The author retired from the U.S. Navy after a 23-year career, during which he served in a variety of ships, although none were as unique as his duty aboard an icebreaker while deployed near the South Pole.
