An anecdote of the Palomares Incident, in which a B-52G bomber of the US Air Force Strategic Air Command collided with a tanker during mid-air re-fuelling off the coast of Spain, Superyacht by noted author James Defares is a tangled, unnerving plot that is nothing short of a high-octane masterpiece. The real-life incident has been described as one of the world's worst nuclear disasters and Defares takes an equally intense approach in this creative nonfiction to consider the shocking mishap. At the heart of this thriller is young American sailor Peter VanEs who runs into billionaire tycoon Gunther Sörensen, owner of the mystery ship Brigitta. VanEs witnesses the disappearance of one of the missing bombs and, with coordinates in hand, is willing to sell the information to the highest bidder. With Russian and American warships fiercely patrolling the Mediterranean, VanEs and Sörensen team together to steal the bomb, but when he is made a prisoner, VanEs realizes Sörensen is the enemy.
