The USS Kentucky - a Trident ballistic missile submarine carrying a full complement of 192 nuclear warheads - sets out on a routine cruise. Not long after it reaches the open sea, however, the Kentucky receives a launch order. After receiving that launch order, it is cut off from all counter orders and disappears into the Pacific while it makes the eight-day transit to the launch site. What the Kentucky's crew doesn't know is that those launch orders didn't come from the US government.

It's as big as the Empire State Building, a massive floating fortress at the throbbing heart of a US Navy carrier battle group. Its supersonic aircraft can level entire cities at a stroke. Its surveillance gear can track every target within thousands of square miles - in the air, on the surface, and under the sea. Its crew of 6,000 works night and day to keep this awesome military machine at peak performance. It's a Nimitz-class nuclear carrier, the most powerful weapons system on the planet. Nothing can touch it.

At the top of the world… at the bottom of the sea… a war has begun. Below the polar ice cap, an American nuclear submarine moves quietly in the frigid water, tailing a new Russian sub. But the usual, unspoken game of hide-and-seek between opposing captains ends when the Americans hear sounds of disaster and flooding, and the Russian sub sinks at a depth of a thousand feet. The American sub rushes to help, only to join its former quarry in the deep. The situation ignites tensions around the world.

This One's a Keeper!!!

Publisher's Summary
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.
The Americans immediately set up a rescue mission, sending a new submarine and a SEAL team to establish an ice camp - Ice Station Nautilus - and stage a rescue. The Russians also send men and material, ostensibly to rescue their own men, but the Russian special forces team is also there to take the American base camp and the American sub, leaving no survivors or traces of their actions. As the men in the North Dakota struggle to survive, the SEAL team battles for possession of the submarine.
Rick Campbell's Ice Station Nautilus is an epic battle above and below the ice, special forces against SEALs, submarine against submarine, with survival on the line.

Great book.
Made me feel like I was on board at times. Being a retired Submarine Nuclear Chief, I loved the Engine room/Reactor startup references. The whole book kept me engaged and looking forward to listening to more. Looking forward to the next Rick Campbell book.

Best Campbell book to date
If you could sum up Ice Station Nautilus in three words, what would they be?
Riveting storyline
What did you like best about this story?
the detail of the military technology and warfare tactics
What does Michael Kramer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Very credible job with each character
Any additional comments?
Rick Campbell has stepped in where Clancy left off and provides a realistic taste of the professionalism and capability of those who serve within the armed services. Campbell's text compels us to understand the nature of warfare

Immediately Entertaining
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.

Good Book
This book was pretty good. I ended up really disliking the female protagonist who seems to be obsessed with a married man. Also, there was a part where she was very quick to save herself that really disgusted me. I feel that she is a really poor excuse for a human being. That just means that the author wrote her character very well as it elicited such a strong reaction from me. The other characters are likable and relatable. The plot was interesting and I loved the interplay between the US and Russia.
