Firing Point

De: George Wallace, Don Keith

Narrado por: Stefan Rudnicki

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.

As both Washington and Moscow prepare for what may be the beginning of World War III, the USS Toledo—led by young, untested Captain Joe Glass—heads to the location to give aid. He soon discovers that the incident was no accident. And the men behind it have yet to make their final move. A move only Glass can stop.

Well it was pretty good.

Not as good as many other Navy books but it wasn't bad. Way to many story lines and many just plain uninteresting.

Great Book

This is one of the best written, researched, and performed books on naval warfare ever. The unique plot with interesting twists make for an exciting enjoyable listen.

I enjoyed the story

I liked the rhythm of the story. It moved along nicely for me. It was a page turner. The narration was good and his voice was pleasant to hear.

One best books in the Naval/Submarine genre in a long time

If you like the naval/submarine genre, you will like this one. Can’t wait to see the movie.

Stupendous - deserves 10 stars!

A suspenseful, edge of your seat, nail biting book with enough twists & turns to satisfy even the most cynical reader.

It's not just a submarine book...
It's also a story where 21st century technology penetrates the financial markets

Awesome novel!

George. What a fine work. Your talents are amazing. Can wait for the movie this summer.

Exciting

I loved this book, would love to see more books by this author on naval stories

A great thriller

Excellent page tuner. Nice to know that a fellow naval officer knows how to knock it out of the ball park. Bravo Zulu George. I hope to meet you some day. I was one of those antisubmarine S-2/S-3 pilots that used to find you before you shot the green flare.

Good fast paced listen

Fast paced with a mix of sun and surface action. Never a dull moment with all the moving pieces of the plot.

excellent story very suspenseful

I listened to this after having watched the movie made from it. it did not disappoint. there were many plot lines that were not in the movie but this was extremely edge of the seat reading.
