At least one Amazon.com customer has found several errors of naval rank and military history in the first few pages of Patrick Robinson's blockbuster about a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier suddenly vaporized by a terrorist submarine. But if you're a plain, old-fashioned thrill seeker like me, you'll probably zip right past them as you try to keep up with the Tom Clancy-like explosion of technical trivia and plot twists. This is one of those books you pick up right after
X-Files, planning to read for an hour before bed. Next thing you know it's 5 a.m., you've still got 50 pages to go--and you keep on reading.

From Library Journal
The Nimitz Class nuclear aircraft carrier USS Thomas Jefferson and its accompanying Carrier Battle Group is secretly attacked and destroyed. At first, the loss of the carrier and its 6000-person crew is deemed an accident, but Lieutenant Commander Bill Baldridge convinces the president that the ship was attacked by a diesel sub with a nuclear-tipped torpedo. The ensuing investigation takes him from Britain's top-flight submarine school to the depths of the Bosporus in pursuit of a rogue Iraqi sub captain and his commandeered Russian submarine. Robinson (One Hundred Days, Naval Institute Pr., 1992) weaves a tale of intrigue mixed with modern naval lore. While not a page-turner of the Clancy class, this story is riveting for its plausibility. Readers of this genre will eagerly plunge into this story.
