Nimitz Class

Rating:
Summary: No surprise ending
Review: Very well written and Mr. Robinson gave a great account of submarine tactics and warfare. However, there were no surprises throughout the book and the ending was rather predictable.

Summary: A riveting if improbable tale of international intrigue.
Review: When a US Navy aircraft carrier is vaoprized in a nuckear explosion with all 6,000 souls on board, all America mourns. The incident is publicly announced as an accident, but behind the closed doors of the White House and the Pentagon, a sneak attack is suspected. What follows is a global search for the men, the nation, and the equipment responsible. Nimitz Class is rich in well-researched technical detail, and presents a consistant, well-rounded cast of characters. The action moves swiftly enough to keep the reader riveted to his seat, though the development of the story line is straightforward and has few surprise twists. Patrick Robinson's book should be appreciated by any fan of the military-action genre.

Summary: This Author is LONGWINDED, but the story is good.
Review: While I enjoyed the story, the author gets really long-winded at times, and sometimes talks for pages and pages about things that really have nothing to do with the story.

I enjoyed this storyline enough that I have started "Kilo Class", the second story in the series. I'm only 50 pages in, and it's great so far. There hasn't been the same droning on and on about things that don't concern the story(yet).

This book is worth reading, but just skip ahead 10 pages when the author starts to wander.
