Publisher's summary

In Rick Campbell’s newest thriller, a military coup in Russia leads to a swift invasion of former Soviet territories - while the US has been rendered powerless to respond.

In Russia, the military is anxious to assert its military strength and regain its role as a superpower. The Russian president refuses to greenlight a bold plan to disable American strategic nuclear capability and retake Ukraine and the Baltic States, fearing the potential consequences of involving nuclear weapons. But the generals won't have it and at the first opportunity, they overthrow the president in a military coup. Then they use a narrow window to initiate their bold plan - the Zolotov option - which will render all of America's B2 bombers and ballistic missiles useless. With the US off the board, they swiftly invade Ukraine with an overwhelming force, an invading Army that even NATO can't hope to resist. 

Now, it's game on. Without their primary weapons, the US has to find a way to fight back on multiple fronts. If they're to have any chance, they'll have to overcome the malware that has grounded their ballistic missiles and planes, as well as secretly land a SEAL team to help rescue the imprisoned Russian president, and help retake control from the forces that are driving Europe into a continental war. 

Rick Campbell, one of the finest young military thriller writers, returns with his biggest and boldest audiobook to date.

The best submarine type books plus more says former submariner.

I served six years on nuclear submarines. These books including this one by Cdr. Campbell bring exciting yarns that involve submarine warfare action to life.
He writes in Way that I can create my own thoughts and visions of who the characters are.
So good. I listen on Audible and as a runner was able to get longer runs in to get more book. Hard to put down. Treason was super and I was trying to figure it out but various twists left me hanging until the author pulled it all together.
I want movies of this!
I was saddened that Christine was only referenced to “college” and not my beloved Penn State as she was in prior books.

I started with this one.

I started with this book I knew it was a part of a series but I started here anyway. After I read it I didn't feel like I missed any part of the story. I have now gone back and bought and listened to all of them.

You can start anywhere in this series and not feel you missed out on something. Of course listening to them in order you see the development of each character. Rick has no real "hero" in this series it is based around the Sub, POUTS, NSA and a Seal Team. Which gives this series a different feel/read to it from all other thriller!

Another captivating book in an exciting series

Once again, Rick Campbell tells a great story. Just when you think you know what’s going to happen next, the plot takes another unexpected turn. Of course, as in any thriller, much of what happens is beyond the scope of reality—we hope!

Fantastic Story!

Rick Campbell really did it this time. A great plot with my favorite characters getting into trouble as usual. Christine got into a situation that was very unique. The whole story was captivating and totally possible. I hope we never come that close to this situation in real life, but…

The Trident Deception Series

Plot: The Trident Deception Series consists of several full-length novels in the military genrè. A retired Navy author provides page-turning excitement of near-miss disasters in American conflicts, primarily with Russia. Suggest starting at the beginning of the series, as several characters - like the President, Chief of Staff, a navy seal, and a strong female lead traverse all novels written to date - will be more.

Liked: If you are a fan of The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy - you'll love The Trident Deception Series. All are nail-biting, page-turning stories. Some graphic violence; if you're a victim of wartime PTSD, these might not be for you. Clean reads, no sex, no objectionable language. Learned a bit about submarine tactics.

Not so hot: Audio speed is a bit slow for my taste; I bumped the rate to 1.4 on the iPhone.

Written by Rick Campbell, and narration is fine; there are several, each book in the area of 10-15 hours of listening in audiobook format, released from March 2014 to date by Blackstone Audio.

Recommended.

Great story, but be warned the narrator is dry

I love the storyline and the characters, but the narrator made it hard for me to finish, but I'm glad I did.

Worst in series

This book seemed a bit dumbed down compared to the first four. I didn’t enjoy it as much because of this. I enjoyed the deeper tactical jargon from the previous books.

Terrific Listen

Once again Rick Campbell has written a fabulous book. The characters are really now coming together and favourites are being formed. I'm used to books with a male lead, but Christine O'Connor is breaking that mould.

As the author note at the end makes clear, there will be more books in the series and I cannot wait!
