The Silent Service: Seawolf Class (Silent Service)

Rating:
Summary: Good sub novel
Review: Seawolf was a very interesting read - from the action to the political situations. The characters were well developed and the plot well paced. There were a few technical things, character name mix-ups (i.e. Garrett named in place of Gordon), and a few odd Chinese phrases (though it could have been Cantonese he was using instead of Mandarin). These little things did not detract from the overall enjoyment of the book.

I find Riker's take on the Taiwan issue interesting; though it might have been just for the plots sake that he presented it the way he did. It's an interesting scenario for the future.

Summary: Couldn't put it down
Review: Tense and thrilling, but without a lot of the artificiality of many submarine books/movies. Riker's story kept me glued (I won't say "riveted") to its pages.

Rating:
Summary: An excellent adventure
Review: This book from the start is action action. Some sub books that I have read get way into the techinical aspect of the sub. This book could be read by both a novice or an exeprienced sub reader and still be enjoyed. The ending is a spectacular display of tactical writing that could easily compete with Tom Clancy. High recommendations

Summary: Best "Silent Service" Outing Yet. Fun Read!
Review: This was a very fast, engaging, enjoyable story from beginning to end. I have read all of the Silent Service series books by H. Jay Riker and they just keep getting better. I am really eager for the next one, which -- I won't give anything away -- the epilogue suggests will be called VIRGINIA CLASS. At least I hope so. I am a real fan of submarine novels and this one stands up well compared to the rest of them. Read it soon!
