Resumen del Editor

The US aircraft carrier patrolling the Western Pacific Ocean is severely damaged by a surprise salvo of cruise missiles. While the Russian government officially apologizes, claiming it was the result of fire control accident during a training exercise, it was instead a calculated provocation. With the US Pacific fleet already severely under strength, the Russian president decides that the US response is a clear indication of their weakness, militarily and politically, and initiates a bold plan. Political unrest is spreading through the Eastern European states. The Russian Northern Fleet moves swiftly in the Mediterranean Sea, the Russian army is moving west to the border, and Russian Baltic and Black Sea Fleets are mobilized. In one bold strike, the Russian army moves to reoccupy a large number of the industrialized areas of the former USSR while blockading the vital sea passages through which the world's oil and natural gas transit. To make matters worse, Russia's Special Forces have wired every major oil and natural gas pipeline with explosives. If the US makes one move to thwart Russia, they'll destroy them all. The US is risking disaster if it acts, but the alternative is quite possibly worse. Torn between the unthinkable and the impossible, the only possible move - to launch an attack on all fronts, simultaneously.

Diet Clancy

This was an engaging story full of action. Felt very similar to the work of Tom Clancy in the vein that there is detailed technical info along with numerous plot lines and characters. The story felt a little cliche but was entertaining as long as you don't think go too deeply into the political ramifications on the incidents. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Great Book and Great Series

For a National Security Adviser, Christine is one Bad A*#! I love this book and the series so far. Rick Campbell does an outstanding job of making the reader feel like he’s right there in the middle of it. I can’t wait for the next book!

Trident Deception Series

Plot: The Trident Deception Series consists of several full-length novels in the military genrè. A retired Navy author provides page-turning excitement of near-miss disasters in American conflicts, primarily with Russia. Suggest starting at the beginning of the series, as several characters - like the President, Chief of Staff, a navy seal, and a strong female lead traverse all novels written to date - will be more.

Liked: If you are a fan of The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy - you'll love The Trident Deception Series. All are nail-biting, page-turning stories. Some graphic violence; if you're a victim of wartime PTSD, these might not be for you. Clean reads, no sex, no objectionable language. Learned a bit about submarine tactics.

Not so hot: Audio speed is a bit slow for my taste; I bumped the rate to 1.4 on the iPhone.

Written by Rick Campbell, and narration is fine; there are several, each book in the area of 10-15 hours of listening in audiobook format, released from March 2014 to date by Blackstone Audio.

Recommended.

Excellent

As a Navy veteran, I very much enjoy Rick Campbell’s works. Michael Kramer is the best narrator.

Awesome

This book is awesome. Action packed and a non stop listen while on an extended RV Road trip. Only missed one exit while so engrossed in the story.

Very well done

Great story. Engaging action.

Characters you can relate to who develop from book to book in the series.

Excellent narration.

Clean audio recording.

Very enjoyable action series.

Loved all the battle sequences.

Lots of battle action in this one. Really enjoyed the actual fighting series. Not just full of political intrigue but very well choreographed action.
