Product Description
From AudioFile
In the world of international counterterrorism, the National Security Agency operates quietly and effectively. Armed with cutting-edge technology, the special agents of the organization, often called Deep Black, investigate an apparently unrelated set of terrorist threats in Europe. A nuclear warhead is missing, and there are plans for an underwater explosion of unprecedented proportions, intended to trigger a devastating tsunami. Reader J. Charles would have better served the cast of international characters with a straight read. Several of his accents are distracting, and the senior American agent suffers from Charles's forced bass. Fortunately, he does better with the narration of fast-paced events, lending excitement to this Clancy wannabe. N.M.C. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

From Booklist
Deep Black, a super-secret subagency within the National Security Agency (and a figment of Coonts' and DeFelice's imaginations), is intended to give NSA some field capabilities. Operatives Charlie Dean and Tommy Karr appear in the process of rescuing an ambassador's daughter and are soon on the trail of an Algerian terrorist who possesses extensive knowledge of France, some sophisticated chemical explosives, and the plutonium from a miniature A-bomb. In the wake of an ordeal of her own in Korea, colleague Lia de Francesca soon joins Charlie and Tommy, while their boss, Reubens, fends off legal challenges that could endanger Deep Black's security. The suspense, action, knowledge of weapons and methods, and characterization are all up to par and frequently better, and the opposing sides are fairly well matched. The outcome remains uncertain right up to the final death duels on the Eiffel Tower and in the Chunnel, and for once a reasonably balanced depiction of the French is given to the often Francophobic thriller audience.
