Rating:  Summary: ANother triumph Review: I'm a huge fan of all of the Pacino books. Each one has been a great page turner, and this one was no exception. The way the author has taken each book and expanded upon the last one is one of the things that make this a good series, even though this one would be good without the background of the previous books. I especially liked the way DiMercurio took a small step back and gave more of a global view of the developing battles, and then dove into depth descriptions. And his use of the technology, as always, was great. Can't wait for the next one!
Rating:  Summary: Submarine Technology Review: It is refreshing to read a book on submarine technology where the author is intimately familiar with existing methods, procedures and technologies. Demecurio certainly is, and he uses to the best advantage. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who likes tales of submerged warfare. John Fish Institute for Marine Acoustics
Rating:  Summary: On target! Review: Terminal Run finds the United States Battle Network compromised by a covert group of hackers. This eliminates the advantage of real time intel. Washington fears that the USS Snarc (a robot submarine) has been hijacked as well and sends the Piranha to sink her. If that isn't bad enough, Britain, India and Red China are squaring up for a show down in the Indian Ocean. This is a fast paced, well researched and well written story. Those of you familiar with the series will see Mike Pacino's son in action and for those of us who still believe carrier battle groups are more than targets, Dimercurio provides carrier based action as well. This a great read. I read most of it on a car trip on my way to Norfolk. Highly recommended.
Rating:  Summary: Terminal Run takes readers deep! Review: Terminal Run was an excellent read. I could not put it down. Mr.DiMercurio was at his usual top form.Cudos! I would have liked to see more people of color as I am one, and less techno mombo jumbo.That beening said this was well worth the seven bucks.
