Track of the Bengal

Summary: Track of the Bengal
Review: Personally I like this book it had a lot of sub-plots, stated in an earlier review. Unlike whoever wrote that review I think the author ende some of them fairly well. I liked the technical-ness of it all, unlike some books that don't go into that much. I also liked the fact that the scenes took place all over the world. Some parts were kind of fuzzy, for instance, near the end when, there is only one person on the Bengal, it was hard for me to picture where he was on the ship. Never the less I liked the book, although I'm still wondering about the Red Bombs and Red Mercury. If anyone has any info on this or know of websites that do, would you e-mail me...

Summary: Aw c'mon! It was not that bad!
Review: Sure, so he had a few scenes he should have left in the trash section of his computer, but overall I would say it is a worthy yarn. His research concerning submarine warfare and Liberty-class ships is flawless, also he demonstrated a few very good characters and even though his presidential scenes were a bit bland at a few areas it does deserve more attention. The national hurricane center is very good depicted and so is the terror of driving either a ship or a helicopter through a tempest! My advice to him is: rewrite it a bit and try again. As for his writing style, it is better then Tom what's-his-face. I'll be first in line for his next novel!

Summary: confusing, too long
Review: While the premise is interesting, the author throws in too many sub-plots and alternative plots, which are never resolved, gratuitously throws in rape/prostitution scenes, and extends the final scene (the ship with nuclear device being pursued with conflict of whether to board or destroy it) by an extra 100 pages.
