Loved It

The book was fabulous! It was, at times funny, gripping, and realistic. The unabridged audio version is also very good. You can't go wrong if you're looking for a military thriller with a sense of humor.

Excellent story, excellent!

I don't know what people are talking about giving this book anything less than 3 stars. Excellent plot, characters and story. I love NSA Admiral Morgan and Captain Crocker. Excellent characters and both highly rememberable. I don't normally read books personally but I made an exception when I discovered this book and read it in a few days. Now that I'm finished with it I intend to re-read it and already purchases Kilo Class and Nimitz Class. If you're looking for a good naval thriller, look no further!

Awesome Book, no disappointments here!

I see all the reviews about this book when it came out. Saying it wasnt that good compared to his others. That's is so wrong, this book is just as good, and just as detailed. Go get this book right now if your a Patrick Robinson fan, dont wait! I wanted to read the entire book in one day, thats how good it is

OUTSTANDING

I am still catching my breath after just finishing USS SEAWOLF. I shudder to think about what would happen if the Chinese did in fact get SEAWOLF the most advanced submarine ever constructed. The book was masterfully written, Robinson didn't stay too long on a subject and always kept you guessing. I resisted skipping to the end to see how things turned out. If you read one submarine book this year make it USS SEAWOLF. Patrick ol'boy if you read this i can NOT WAIT for a sequel...

A superbly written and crafted ?can?t put down? novel

I was eagerly anticipating the forth of Patrick Robinson's submarine themed novels and was not disappointed. In fact the book was devoured in 48 hours with a some late nights and definitely falls into "can't put down" status.The U.S. navy dispatches their most advanced submarine, captained by the best submariner, to spy in Chinese waters on their newly launched submarine. Everything goes to plan until the Submarine is captured and towed to a Chinese navy port whilst her crew are imprisoned and tortured. The U.S. national Security Adviser, Arnold Morgan, a fantastically larger than life character that appears in the previous novels, "Nimitz Class", "Kilo Class" and "HMS Unseen", is the pivot between the Political intrigue and the naval options. These options include the rescue of the imprisoned crew by the U.S. seals and the problem of the most advanced submarine in the enemies hand. Sensitive to providing sufficient detail to ensure authenticity Robinson does not overload the reader with too much technical jargon in the way that Clancy can. A superbly written and crafted "can't put down" novel that I would strongly recommend.
