Final Bearing

Rating:
Summary: Final Bearing, a Blockbuster
Review: Excitement from page one. The action sequences are riviting, the submarine scenes ring with authenticity. This book is good for your cardio-vascular systems . . . it gets your heartrate up without you ever leaving your chair. But be warned, make no plans after you pick the book up, because you won't be able to put it down until it is read.

Summary: Move Over Tom Clancey
Review: FINAL BEARING is a real page turner. Make sure you have the time to stick with this intriguing "get the bad guys" book. I'm still wondering what happened to the two trucks that got away. I liked this better than Clancey's submarine stories as the scenes are more authentic and complete in detail. I almost got sea sick reading of the influence of heavy seas upon the men. Sure would make a great movie! I'm looking forward to the next book.

Summary: Believable plot...great action...good read
Review: Seems like so many technothrillers are so farfetched that they are almost ridiculous. FINAL BEARING has all the elements of suspense, action, and military hardware, but the authors do a good job of convincing us this is real stuff. They put the reader in the middle of the action and describe the technology in a believable way without trying to tell us how to build a submarine from scratch! On the negative side, there are so many story lines and characters, the reader could lose his place if he puts the book aside for a few days, but the plot and action are good enough to keep that from happening, I think. By the way, the descriptions of the HALO jump and the run up Puget Sound by Spadefish are absolutely gripping.
