Michael DiMercurio, bestselling author of Emergency Deep A great, tense thriller

Product Description

THE GREATEST DANGER HIDES IN THE DEPTHS OF DECEIT.

In a Murmansk hotel, a U.S. naval officer is found dead along with a young Russian sailor in what is labeled a murder/suicide -- but American navy commander Jake Scott thinks otherwise. Assigned to escort the dead officer's body back to the United States, Scott discovers that his predecessor had uncovered a secret that cost him his life -- and may cost Scott even more.

Aided by alluring weapons expert Alexandra Thorne, Jake uncovers a conspiracy of betrayal, terror, and vengeance intended to target a tense summit meeting of the American and Russian presidents. Taking the helm of a Russian sub, Scott must race against the clock -- and face off against an unseen enemy under the waves -- if he hopes to prevent a nuclear strike that could ignite World War III.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping, Fast Paced, AND Well Written!, December 28, 2004

This review is from: War Plan Red (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a gritty, gripping, fast paced book - I found it impossible to put down! The setting is post cold war and effectively captures the scenario of rebel terrorists gaining control of a nuclear submarine. The book is rich in detail, demonstrating real knowledge of submarine operations as well as accurately depicting the politics and physical environment. The writing is superb; description never slows down the pace and the characters are multi-dimensional. I particularly appreciated that even the "bad guys" were fully developed human characters - nothing cardboard or plastic here!

This review is from: War Plan Red (Mass Market Paperback)

The authentic feel (and smell!) of submarine warfare, an ingenious terrorist plot, believable characters and a strong dose of realpolitik smoothly woven into a great story. Comparable to Clancy without being imitative. Definately a great read!

This is an engaging, fast paced, and intriguingly plotted adventure story. The author knows his subject and his setting; the details he includes add to the suspense without ever slowing down the plot. The book is well written. You won't be able to put this one down!
