Monteith is ALWAYS a good if not a GREAT !
Reviewed: 07-26-16
If you like books about submarines, (and I do ) you simply must read Monteith. Every book in the "Rogue " series is hard to put down. The characters are very well defined. The plots are quite interesting, and close to being timeless. If the stories are examined they will prove to be believable.

Great Great Novel !
Reviewed: 07-05-16
The first time I read this book (or listened on Audible) I may have been unkind. I wasn't feeling well that day and I don't remember what I said. This is by FAR the best submarine novel I have ever read/heard. I t beats "The Hunt for Red October " which is a great read. I would or I wish this to become a Big Screen movie ! I believe that it would play for quite a while !

Story
Russia's new ballistic missile submarine, Yuriy Dolgorukiy, is being deployed on its first patrol while America's newest fast-attack submarine, North Dakota, is assigned to trail it and collect intel. As the Russian submarine heads under the polar ice cap, its sonar readings reveal the trailing American sub and cause the Russians to begin a radical evasive maneuver. This, however, fails, and the submarines collide, resulting in damage that sends both to the bottom.

Occasionally this story can become tedious . The sheer level of detail drives that in my opinion. You may want to read it more than once in order to understand all the nuances . I feel as if I have been on the North Dakota.

Dirk Pitt Rides Again
Reviewed: 06-22-16
if you have ever read a Clive Cussler book, then you probably have read about Dirk Pitt.
there are two of them now ; Dirk senior, and Dirk junior. Both of them pretty much are the same. You will always have an old restored classic automobile. Clive Cussler (yes .. the author) will make a "cameo appearance " as himself . The supporting characters will be the same as well ; Rudi Gunn, Al Giordino, Admiral Sandecker, a certain Congress woman, and I believe one more which escapes me right now. But it is very good writing, all about NUMA which I think stands for National Underwater & Maritime Association. (it may be Marine instead of Maritime etc. it's not defined in every book ... unless I missed it ) Very Very good to read IF YOU LIKE MYSTERIES WITH AN UNDERWATER TWIST. Try it and SEE. ! ! !

Reviewed: 06-05-16
It takes a while to get going, but the story goes into character deinition for some time. It's a good plot and it also has some comedy entertwinined, as the terrorists do some goofy things as they move across our country .This is the first time I have heard or read about what they may face just getting somewhere.

Tt takes its time getting there but the wait is worthwhile.
Some of the characters are familiar. Some are new. It's a good plot. I would like to think that we would do as well as the folks herein. Perhaps we would . I hope we'll never find out.
