5.0 out of 5 stars A very British thriller, June 8, 1998

By

This review is from: Sea Leopard (Paperback)

A fast-paced, exciting and well researched thriller from British technothriler pioneer Craig Thomas. The Birmingham locations such as Edgabaston and the NAtional Exhibition Centre are authentic, as I live in this city and can idnetify with places described. The submarine scenes are highly throlling and supercharged - the Catherine Wheel weapon inspired Dale Brown! Rather feasible. As for the Leopard anti-sonar device - is that prophecying stealth technology?(this book was written around 1980). Altogether, if you can get hold of this, this is well worth a read. Written before 'The HUnt For Red October', but on the whole just as good, if not better, if you love submarine novels as much as I do at times. The British settings add to the interest.

SEA LEOPARD

THE PRIZE: The most sophisticated piece of military equipment in the world - codenamed "Leopard" - is suddenly up for grabs. Now, it is aboard the British nuclear submarine HMSS Proteus on a perilous mission to chart the Soviet underwater defense system... a mission that explodes when the Russians spring a deep-sea death trap and race to steal the deadly prize

THE MEN: Five key men clash in a lethal game that could determine the future of the free world: Aubrey and Hyde from the SIS; Adrenyev of the USSR Clark of US Intelligence; and a shadowy, brilliant man named Quin, the inventor of "Leopard"... a man who has mysteriously vanished, but who will reappear to play a crucial role in the kidnap of his world-shattering device.
