De: Michael DiMercurio

Narrado por: Joseph Courtemanche

With his unrelenting suspense and explosive combat scenes, USA Today best-selling author Michael DiMercurio has redefined the modern submarine thriller. Now he returns with a new novel of the silent war on terror being waged under the sea...

During NATO exercises, the French Navy unveils Le Vigilant, a nuclear submarine so advanced that it can elude any radar system in the water. But France’s maritime marvel is about to become its own worst enemy. A band of Algerian terrorists has hijacked Le Vigilant. They mean to wipe Paris and every major French city off the face of the earth - and then turn their missiles against the great Satans of the United States and Russia.

Despite the French Navy’s protests, two NATO subs are called into action: the USS Hampton, captained by veteran sub warrior Burke Dillinger, and the USS Texas, commanded by iron-willed Peter Vornado. Paris is being evacuated. Time is running out. And the coming conflict will pit the ultimate in technological weaponry against pure courage, skill, and determination...

Reseñas de la Crítica

“DiMercurio really knows his subs...His characters step right off the sub deck and onto his pages.” (Larry Bond)

“Compelling and visionary. DiMercurio’s characters run as deep as his submarines themselves!” (Joe Buff, author of Seas of Crisis and Straits of Power)

great story BUT....

the actual storyline is great. However, this has to be the most over bored detail in torture and rape than for this series and author. I was not expecting it and did not work for an evening. read this book, and I left me feeling sick rather than enjoying the story and relaxing.

marvelous

As a former destroyer sailor,I can understand the technological aspect of this story. I spent several years at the sub base San Diego so the submarine force is in my blood. I was blessed to be a part of both surface and subsurface navy. I recommend Michael Mecurio's books to anyone seeking realistic adventure.

Junk

Another closet erotic novel masquerading as a military suspense novel. Last time I read/listen to this author

Out of His Norm

Discusting depictions of family torture mixed with elaborately detailed, unnecessary sex scenes. Not His Usual Type Of Writing

Unnecessary

Wow! DiMercirio has really gone crazy. Describing sex acts in detail. Also including rape and other immoral sex acts. What has happened to him? Is the a submarine book or penthouse letters?

Read/Heard Better

Kinda disappointed with this book, not very interesting as his other nail biting stories. Instead he’s talking about sexual tasks

Disappointed

Reminds me of asking about the time and get told how to build a clock. Tooo much description, not enough story. And XXX rated chapter.
