Summary: A 200 page introduction followed by a good story
Review: Although the second half of the book is gripping, it takes 200+ pages of navy-trivia and average descriptions to actually get there. However, once the action starts, there are almost no breaks and the book becomes highly enjoyable.

Summary: Patrick Robinson's new naval thriller
Review: Patrick Robinson has written another exciting naval thriller. This has novel a deep plot with many twists and turns from SEALs deep in Russia to submarines in the South China Sea. The plot is deeper than it seems. This is great listening for naval fiction fans. This novel is well worth the money.
Rating: 
Summary: Kilo Class
Review: Granted, this novel is well researched in regards to the techinical aspects of US and Russian Submarines. What makes me upset is the utter lack of depth and knowledge in the characters, particularly the Chinese. The author continually has the Chinese referring to "honor" such as "It would do me no honor to remind you..." etc... To my knowledge, the Chinese do not have as high a concept of honor as the author might think, and it is certainly not used every other sentence in conversation. Such stereotypical association leads me to believe that the author is writing some sort of cheap sci-fi novel with extremely archaic Japanese characters.

Summary: Another Awesome view of the US Navy
Review: Patrick Robinson has done it again. Nimitz Class was an on your seat adventure through the Politics of the US Armed Forces, but Kilo Class offers more action/adventure! The sure class of the detail in the chapters with the SEALs destroying the 3 kilos were outstanding. The degree of knowledge Robinson has for America's Military is unbelievable. This novel is a must have for the military buff.

Summary: Passable, if you fancy the "USA uber alles" view of things.
Review: Let me get it off my chest. It has been two weeks now that I finished reading "Kilo class". Oddly for such a book, it took me more than ten days to finish, compared to the usual 2-2.5 days. I felt again and again the urge to put it down. Ficton is supposed to provide a means of communication between men, across the barriers of space and time. Well, the man on the other end was little short of a US version of Adolf. A bigotry feast that I have found difficult to swallow, no matter how fascinating the technology description may have been. I suppose - or should I say afraid - that it may prove to be more acceptable to the US public. At least the author spared us from the cliche of the loner that saves the day, gets the recognition he deserves, and gets the girl at the same time. Passable, if you fancy the "USA uber alles" view of things. No "Hunt" though. I have found "Nimitz Class" to be more interesting and far less irritating.

Summary: One of the best I've read!
Review: A chillingly feasable book, which provides a great insight to the modern world of sub surface warfare and counter intelligence. The characters are tangible, the plot clever without being over complicated, in short a great book!
Rating: 
Summary: a good book, much better than Nimitz Class.
Review: This book is much better than Mr. Robinson's earlier book, Nimitz class. That was boring, and the ending was very anticlimactic. But Kilo class is defienetly better in all respects, even if the protagonists do rely on good luck and coincidence too much, and if everything turns out to be just right for the U.S. Not the equal of Tom Clancy, but still worth reading, even if you disagree with (as I do) the blatantly illegal actions of the U.S. government.

Summary: Terrific, Realistic Book
Review: Patrick Robinson has once again written an outstanding naval thriller. His critics need to move away from Berkeley, quit reading books by Marx and join the reality of the 21st century. Good work, Mr. Robinson!!

Summary: An entertaining, yet unremarkable sea tale.
Review: This is my first Patrick Robinson book, and it won't be my last; however the book probably won't be a classic. I was slightly disappointed in the abundance of profanity because brilliant, highly educated, technologically orientated characters simply do not communicate in this way. The author could have, and should have, cut down on the language for better effect. The plot was well thought out and sufficiently suspenseful to keep the reader interested, but you will feel as though you are reading through Mr. Robinson's final book outline. There were numerous opportunities for more detail about the dangers and unpredictability of covert operations, such as the scenes on board the Russian Tour Ship involving the SEAL team and the American Civilians. But in other similar scenes, Mr. Robinson doesn't seem to take full advantage of these opportunities. I always appreciate being "educated" as to geography, military equipment, and the political views of one country toward another. Mr. Robinson doesn't disappoint here, and for that I feel as though my time was well spent on his novel.
