3.0 out of 5 stars
Entertaining reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nimitz Class (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book after reading Kilo Class. Enjoyed the characters that I already had known from the author's second book. It was slow at times just as Kilo class but think it would be an entertaining movie if the ending was "spiced" up (see next paragraph).The ending was somewhat un-climactic which was disappointing. Since I read Kilo class first which had a dull ending, I was hoping Nimitz class would have had more "fireworks" in the end. However, it was an interesting twist at the end, that the antagonist got away leaving me wondering if Ben Adnam would appear again. The book is entertaining because: the plot is interesting; the characters have thier own grit if you use your imagination a bit; and makes you wonder if something like this could really happen. I do not think this is a five star book. However, the people who gave the disertations on why it should get one or zero stars seem to have too much time on their hands and probably read way to much (there is such a thing). Patrick Robinson does deserve some credit for his efforts. Remember that this book is only fiction, takes place in the near possible future and should not have to be totally historically and militarily correct.

Excellent and exciting read!,

This review is from: Nimitz Class (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was an excellent read. Undoubtedly the best of Robinson's works to date. He develops the story intelligently, carefully and with a lot of suspense, which contrasts somewhat with popular submarine novels from other authors, who tend to drown the story in techno-details and over-imaginative plots, and a lot of explosions! Through the story, we travel to some fascinating locations and meet well-developed and diverse characters. I particularly enjoyed the playful banter between Morgan and Rankin, although Morgan's is somewhat overdone in places. I heartily recommend this book to anybody What's more, the sequel, Kilo Class, is just as entertaining!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Super story for submarine fans,
By Dimitrios (Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nimitz Class (Mass Market Paperback)
That was one of the best books I have read on modern submarine warfare and the story was also very good. The elimination of a US supercarrier by a single nuclear-tipped torpedo was presented in an exciting way, as was the hunting of the renegade submarine that followed. The episode of the British sub passing through the Bosporus Straights was absolutely marvellous and I wish Robinson had devoted some more pages to the hunting of the enemy sub, instead of discovering it by chance.
