Tipping Point: Escalation

De: John O'Brien

Narrado por: Mark Gagliardi

In an engagement that many had said was inevitable, the United States and China had exchanged opening shots. While conducting a Freedom of Operations mission, a US destroyer had been sunk by Chinese forces placed on a disputed man-made island. Twelve American sailors rescued from the waters were held captive by China, claiming them to be prisoners of war. In response, the United States mounted a rescue effort while also striking at the Chinese military installation.

Fearing retaliation and to be in a position of strength, both countries sortied their fast-attack submarine fleets. Will the leader of the powerful nations attempt to reduce regional tensions or will the two nuclear nations continue their plunge toward a war?

WW3 continues, largely under the sea

I liked the focus on submarine warfare and the silent service in this one. It would make sense in this modern age, given the two forms were trying limit the battle space. Could use a bit more character attachment, although the president is somewhat of a staple character at this point.

John does it again!

Once again he has written a book that pulls you into it like you are really there. Beautiful descriptions and wonderful personal perspectives of the characters.
I would advise you first listen to the first book in this series. Also, listen to his other series’s, you won’t be disappointed.

The wolfpacks are hunting

great story, fast moving and love the detail in the plot. can not wait to the next one is ready

Enjoyable to listen to.

Great book in the series, it’s now on to book three.
My only complaint is that there’s a lot of duplication of action and I really don’t need the processes reiterated each time. Seems like just adding filler words without adding content.

Captivating

This series of books isn’t complicated but the author has researched the technical points of the story line well. Because of the current state of world affairs this story line is timely and captivating. Interesting but not complicated.
