Summary: Where's the movie deal?
Review: After finding this book and reading it straight through, I'm going back and finding the rest of Michael DiMercurio's books and reading them as well. What I don't understand is why Hollywood hasn't offered a movie deal for these titles. They have action, drama, and technical detail to keep the most critical movie veiwer hooked, and could be a potential gold mine for the producer lucky enough to stumble across them. Where's the movie deal? C'mon, Hollywood, figure it out!

Summary: Submarines to the Max
Review: As thrillers go, it was pretty good. The only thing that seemed to get in the way of it being excellent was all of the technical specifications of the weapons that the author found it necessary to include. Unless you're a former submariner or a sub "groupie", you may find, as I did, the specifics of torpedoes, torpedo tubes, and weapon systems tedious.

Summary: Threat Vector
Review: Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! DiMercurio's writing has taken the next step! The depth of his charactors and the webs of his tale puts one right into the middle of the story(excitement with every page). If this is not a major block buster with a major movie behind it everyone is missing the boat(no pun intended). (I suggest Catherine Bell as the XO,Keanu Reeves as CO and of course Richard Geer as Pacino...)I believe the Author has his own ideas!

Summary: The future of undersea warfare
Review: Dimercurio has penned another winner. This time the world faces a potential war in south America and the usual suspects are renting out their battle fleet to the highest bidder. In order to keep the American Navy at Bay, a submarine creeps into waters outside Norfolk and sinks cruise ship carrying most of the Navy's top brass. This is a crippling and devastating blow to the level of readiness.There are many charcters you have grown used to in previous books and some new ones as well. The sea battles are realistic as Dimercurio moves about twenty years into the future and speculates the type of weaponry available to attack subs: Plasma warheads (a small, focused nuclear weapon, Vortex undersea missles (a super cavitating munition) and a light imaging system (much better than conventional sonar). He also does something I like to do myself. He brings back a bad guy from the first book and sends him after Patch Pacino's Navy. Overall a great, great read.

Summary: Damned the Torpedos... You're Taking a Ride!
Review: DiMercurio hits it big time with a balance of futuristic politics and probable technical advancements in naval warfare! Each page is filled with suspense and intrigue that pulls the reader into the story. The knowledgeable descriptions and attention to detail bridge the gap between plausibility and realism, bringing the not too distant future into the present to such effect you'll find yourself brushing seasalt off the pages! The author has further perfected his ability to make you understand the emotions and feelings of a submarine captain while under attack. He puts you in the Captain's chair and doesn't let you up until you turn that last page! This has definitely put DiMercurio at the top of his genre. Hollywood should get on its knees and start begging!

Summary: Excellent book
Review: Excellent book overall that is typical of DiMercurio. Although somewhat saddened at the loss of lots of Navy brass, I did enjoy the great step forward in technology, including the aerial recon and the awesome Vepr. I was disappointed at the ATT because all it spit out was a net. I was expecting something like a Vortex kind of device that was used before...using a plasma explosion to destroy the incoming torpedo considering the plasma has such a large blast radius and that the torpedos were so far away. Oh well, besides that, I highly recommend this book.

Summary: All around a very good book
Review: For anyone who enjoys sub thrillers who has not discovered Michael DiMercurio is missing out on something. Threat Vector takes place in the future, in the 2010s. Technology certainly has advanced in DiMercurio's world. There are driverless cars that go 140 miles per hour and instead of resignation letters, we have resignation emails. At times, the future technology does seem outlandish, however it provides an interesting setting for the story, and I think it is benefitical to the book. I won't go and explain the plot, but the plot does provide many twists and turns, although I found the ending a bit predictable. The characters are well developed and unlike other novels in this genre, the bad guys aren't 1-dimesionally evil. Overall, this is fine book and most of you will find this a treat to read.

Summary: Threat Vector - Couldn't put the book down!
Review: For me personally, one of the most compelling aspects of this book is the realist consideration of women in command positions in the U.S. Navy. Michael DiMercurio breaks the stereotypical mold of women being limited to certain positions within the military. He reveals the character of the submarine's Executive Officer, LtCdr Petri, to be professional and that she can hack it in combat. Women readers will find the book compelling and will not be able to put it down until the end.
