War Plan Red
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
An exciting submarine chase with all the tension and character interaction that one could hope for plus human relationships that make it real. Exciting, descriptive, couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read "Red Shark" and the further adventures of Jake Scott by this author.
Gripping, Fast Paced, AND Well Written!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is a gritty, gripping, fast paced book - I found it impossible to put down! The setting is post cold war and effectively captures the scenario of rebel terrorists gaining control of a nuclear submarine. The book is rich in detail, demonstrating real knowledge of submarine operations as well as accurately depicting the politics and physical environment. The writing is superb; description never slows down the pace and the characters are multi-dimensional. I particularly appreciated that even the "bad guys" were fully developed human characters - nothing cardboard or plastic here!
Tautly paced thriller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
The authentic feel (and smell!) of submarine warfare, an ingenious terrorist plot, believable characters and a strong dose of realpolitik smoothly woven into a great story. Comparable to Clancy without being imitative. Definately a great read!
Solid Writing, Gripping Plot
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is an engaging, fast paced, and intriguingly plotted adventure story. The author knows his subject and his setting; the details he includes add to the suspense without ever slowing down the plot. The book is well written. You won't be able to put this one down!
