An oil tanker mysteriously explodes in the Persian Gulf. Then a second . . . and a third. To the President's National Security Adviser Admiral Arnold Morgan it is more than a tragic coincidence—it is a brazen act of aggression that must not stand. In partnership with Iran, the Chinese navy has mined the Strait of Hormuz, intending to hold the world's oil supply hostage. Now eighty percent of America's active sea power is being mobilized—including U.S.S. Shark, an aging nuclear submarine on its final tour of duty—to dismantle a deadly alliance between two powerful enemies. But something goes terribly wrong during a bold retaliatory SEAL assault on China's Indian Ocean power plants—a disaster that spawns death, disbelief, rage . . . and rebellion. And with a volatile world on the brink of catastrophic conflict, the commanders of a nuclear boat in the twilight of glory must confront a nightmare as devastating as it is unthinkable: mutiny!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is FICTION!! Get it people, not FACT!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2013

I was not surprised that some of the worst reviews came from Naval officers and if they were looking for exact truth they should not have picked a Fiction, Techno Thriller to read. It is okay in fiction to make up things and people, no mattter how outragrous; in fact, its the point.

The only thing I did not agree with in the book was the ending. It was the wrong but certainly the most realistic verdict. In that he used the truth where I would have used more of Mr. Robinson's great imagination to make it right.

If you can't let the writer's imagination take you where your imagination would like to go don't read fiction, stick to Non-fiction.

I think Patrick Robinson is an outstanding writer in the realm of Fictional Techno Thrillers. I have read all his books in this series in order and will continue to do so as long as he is gracious enough to keep writing them, which I hope will be many more years.In between I will read the other books he has written. And if you want to write a bad review at least have the courage to put your name on it.

If you like good Techno Thrillers which let you escape the real world for awhile then read this book and all the others by this outstanding FICTION writer.

As always a great story by Patrick Robinson. If you have been in the Navy and in the submarines you will feel at home with this story. He did mention that the officers eat very well on submarines. He just forgot that the non officers do not fare so well. But it still was full of Action and a Great Book.

I really enjoyed the book for about half of it. As it built in suspense about the oil routes and Taiwan. Then the book disappointed. The focus changes solely to the mutiny and ultimately the court martial. Although fiction, I was really disappointed in Boomer. He above all people should understand the damage a deranged captain can do. I hope our real Navy is not as stupid and rigid. I am afraid I know the answer to that question.

The story wasn't convoluted, simply complex.

Multiple threads, ingeniously woven.
Nice balance of familial interactions, well thought through.

I couldn't put it down.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not to be Overlooked!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 24, 2006

Another superbly crafted novel from this masterful writer. He really is in the top rank of novelists having the skill to create entirely feasible battle scenes, White House procedures, court room dramas, you name it. He also provides us with beautifully drawn characters, some who appear in each book and some who don't, but the star performer is the irascible and very funny portrait of the National Security Advisor, Arnold Morgan, you really feel like you know him. It seems that Robinson's problem in not matching Clancy scale sales (whom he is easily as good as) is the apparent obsession with submarine based stories. Well, let me tell you that that these vessels are in a sense, only incidental in the stories, there is much more to them than just under water escapades, though his technical knowledge is unsurpassed. I urge you to give him a try.

One of the best seagoing stories that I’ve ever read !! Couldn’t put it down. The only thing missing was an addendum at the end.
**Two years later, an item in a French newspaper stating that a former US Navy submarine commander had been committed to a mental institution near Marseille **

China is at it again - moving to control areas of the globe that have historically been American/Western spheres of interest. Thus the mining of the Straits of Hormuz becomes only a part of a wider plan that leads to the US deploying SEAL teams to go head to head with the Chinese covertly. The Shark is the submarine that is used as their method of ingress and egress and it is this that ultimately leads to actions that lead to a court martial and a real sting in the tail to this story.

An excellent read and utterly believable story and I realize that the XO had to be found guilty but I would have thought a more realistically end could have been made.
