Title: A true thriller!
Product review: The situation - Middle Eastern terrorists led by one Colonel Qazi take over a US navy carrier and arm the nuclear weapons stockpile. Jake Grafton, CAG on board must avert their attempt to discredit the US. This was the first Coonts book I read and was swept along by the sheer fast pace of it. The characters are well portrayed and not just cardboard characters for window dressing, they contain dimension. The carrier scenes are striking and realistic and for those unfamiliar with life in the Navy such as I was, it's all explained in simple prose and not too much technobabble. The aerial scenes are as brilliant as anything Dale Brown has written and the general pace of the story is in the tradition of old hands like Alistair Maclean (RIP) and Clive Cussler. If you want an uncomplicated, thrilling read, get this one.
