I barely made it to page 50. I have never, in my life, read such poorly constructed english. It was incomprehensible. Not sure what the author was trying to accomplish, but the publisher should lose his or her job.

A bit slow at first as well as convaluted yet the final 1/4 of the story proved to be the high suspense of Dan Brown. Glad I stuck with the story to it's conclusion. Being a retired submarine Sonar Tech made it all very believeable!

Credit is due for the descriptions and lore of the American torpedo and the operations of the P-3 Orion and the PBY Catalina, one of the unsung mechanical heroes of WW II. Credit is also due for the insights into the hearts and minds of the terrorist enemies of the United States that will not be found elsewhere. The story surrounding them is weak. The writing is the worst I have ever seen in a book,the worst. So poor is the structure of sentence after sentence after sentence and so clumsy is the vocabulary, that one would almost suspect that words and phrases were dropped during a bad digital scan of a manuscript. A hard read. I finished it only because I am ex-Navy and a military tech enthusiast. Others would not have the patience.
