Commanding a combined US-South Korea force, the newly promoted US Navy hero Dan Lenson wonders if his embattled group can possibly keep sea lanes open in the Central Pacific as he tries to turn the tide and buy time for the Allies to regroup.
But when his own flagship comes under ferocious attack, he must leave it to assume command elsewhere - without knowing when he'll be able to return. In the meantime, SEAL operator Teddy Oberg, escaping from a hellish POW camp, heads west through desolate mountains toward what he hopes will be freedom. And in Washington, DC, Dan's wife, Blair Titus, helps formulate America's military and political response to overwhelming setbacks in the Pacific and at home.
Filled with dramatic battle scenes from massive ship, submarine, and air warfare to desperate hand-to-hand Marine Corps combat - and informed by the author's own background as a Navy captain and defense analyst - Hunter Killer is a powerful, all-too-believable novel about how the next world war might unfold.

If you could sum up Hunter Killer in three words, what would they be?
Very engrossing.What other book might you compare Hunter Killer to and why?
Somewhat like a Tom Clancy novel without all the background and detail information. The story moves along pretty quickly, foregoing details on weapon specs and strategies.Have you listened to any of Gary Galone’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but he is very good.Any additional comments?
This book tells an interesting story about how WWIII starts and develops with the Chinese. You can see how this would happen given the world we live in today. Only problem is that the book ends half way through the story. The follow on book has not been written so you are left hanging for maybe a year until the follow on book is released. Note that this author has written many books but only 2 books are available on Audible so it is uncertain whether you will ever be able to finish with Audible.Disappointed - book ends half way thru the story

A decent story, but the subplots were distracting. There are the special forces in captivity and their adventures; the wife back home and her high-flying career… I wouldn’t miss them.
The narrator did a decent job but mispronounced some terms—unnoticed by the narrator, editor, proofreader (proof listener?), and the author. Samples: “boatswain” is so spelled, but it isn’t pronounced as such. The correct pronunciation is “bos’n,” bowline is pronounced “bow-lin,” corpsman is “cor-man,” not “corsman.” The author describes a “double loop” as “pi.” Pi’s symbol looks like a square-cornered “n.” The author is thinking of the infinity symbol: an 8 on its side. And so it goes.
Episodic; multiple subplots

Unknown; in general I prefer audiobooks.What did you like best about this story?
The characters, situations, and plot arcs seem authentic and realistic.Which character – as performed by Gary Galone – was your favorite?
Dan, of course.Any additional comments?
"All due respect" to Gary Galone: learn how to pronounce corpsman, bo's'un, etc.Dark, Grim, Authentic, Can't Wait for the Next One
