Kilo Class

De: Patrick Robinson

Narrado por: George Guidall

It's one of the stealthiest, most dangerous underwater warships ever built—and it's about to set off World War III.

Silent at less than five knots and capable of a massive nuclear warhead punch, it's the 240-foot Russian Kilo Class submarine. Strapped for hard cash, the Russians have produced ten new Kilos for Beijing. The Chinese have already received three of the subs and now the last seven are ready to be delivered—a code-red situation the Pentagon must avert. Armed with a full strike force of Kilos, China can cripple American interests, shatter the balance of power, and successfully achieve the unthinkable in the Pacific Rim. But not if the newly appointed National Security Adviser, wily Texas admiral Arnold Morgan, can stop them—using the navy's deadliest covert forces.

In a breathtaking race against time, a team of Navy SEALs penetrates deep inside the remote waters of northern Russia on a daring mission of destruction. And in the icy darkness of the North Atlantic, a brave U.S. captain takes his 7,000-ton nuclear vessel on a hair-raising trip beneath the polar ice cap to head off a powerful Russian cordon determined to transport the Kilos at any cost. Horns locked in a tense game of geomilitary survival, each of the world's three most powerful nations knows that one mistake will mean all-out war.

Today's Fiction, Tomorrow's Reality!

Patrick Robinson has done it again! From the moment that I started listening to this book, I only stopped to eat and sleep. The plot of this book is so close to reality, it's scary. With China building up it's presence in the South China Sea, this book could be happening now. Sit back and hang on, because this book will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Great Story, Great Writing. Great Narration!

Really good geopolitical and submarine warfare thriller. Very good character development. Satisfying conclusion. I can't remember enjoying a book this much for a longtime, and I've read some good ones lately. I can't wait to read Nimitz Class!

Very good Navel story.

The story is realistic and well written. If you want to be a submariner, read this book.

Great story and narration

I love the books and characters! It’s great that they lead into the next book.

A real page turner.
