SOLID EFFORT

I liked this novel, in spite of the often contrived martial arts scenes that were most likely written w/ film in mind. The book was extensively researched, and I found myself learning much about China and of course, the QE2. The Kellogg brothers made interesting heroes, and I'm reading more about them in NIGHTWATCH. I would of liked Mr. Henrick to get the action moved to the QE2 sooner. The last of the great ocean liners is the real star of this book, and I couldn't get enough of this great ship. The submarine action was a real surprise, and fit in well w/ the story. Of course, what would you expect from the author of one of my favorite movies, CRIMSON TIDE. If you find yourself w/ some spare time on your hands, pick up this book and give it a try. I guarantee you that it will take you to several places that you've never been before, that being one of my definitions of a good read.

WONDERFUL READ

At last an old fashioned adventure story with plenty of breathtaking action, believable good guys, and a worthy enemy. This novel proves one needn't have profanity to tell a good tale. Liked the background of the QE2 so much, that I just booked a spring crossing for me and my wife to check Henrick's authenticity.

Splendid read!

Picked up this novel in the QE2 bookstore during a recent trans-Atlantic crossing, and must say that it was fascinating. It's filled with detailed information on the ship itself, and I found it incredibly fun to walk the ship in the footsteps of the novel's characters. I'm certain that the story was penned with film in mind, and I do hope the filmakers cast Sean Connery and Michael Caine to represent the UK.

The next best thing to an actual trans-Atlantic crossing!

I've always been fascinated w/ the QE2, and Henrick's book only made me more interested in this last of the great ocean liners. I certainly see a movie in this fast paced story, that captures all the class and ambiance of a real live ocean crossing. And even if I can't afford a real sea going voyage, at least I have this marvelous book to read once again.

A fantastic read! Great character development. A must read.

This book kept me on the edge of my couch. The character development is supurb. A senerio that could possibly occur in this day and time. Excellent detail with regard to the QE 2 which further interests me.
