Good Page Turner, Keep You Moving

Like all his books, great page turner with a lot of action and realistic. His books are also a good way to keep up on the latest in submarine technology BTW. A few characters, e.g., the captain of the Ohio, may have been a little sketchy, or a little to sterotyped, e.g., love sick sonarman, but not bad. Liked all his books, this one no expection.

Pretty good read

Kept me interested without being too far fetched (from what this civvie can tell). I haven't finished the last couple chapters so I can't ruin the ending. The story involves Iran and I've heard Iran mentioned in the news over the last couple days. Made me chuckle, then get nervous ! The action was good without being over the top and the characters were believable and likable. There is a prototype mini-sub that operates somewhat similar to an airplane in that it has no ballast, "flies" through the water with wings.

Riker just gets better and better.

BRAVO ZULU, Mr. Riker. This is a Navy signal flag array that means WELL DONE!
