Title: Trite, far-fetched, and riddled with errors
Product review: Let's see - the hero and heroine broke up 5 years ago but just happen to meet again in Antartica as nuclear weapons are exploding; the hero, a Navy Captain, can fly everything from choppers to harriers to the SR-71; a two-star general at the Pentagon subordinates warning people about a killer tidal wave to his own ambition. Go on, make a ridiculous movie out of it, but don't pretend that it has any credibility as a novel. While the plotting is somewhat compelling, the characters are shallow and the dialogue is trite. I cannot judge the feasibility of the tidal wave creation by nukes and the ensuing carnage, etc, but their clumsiness with other details such as military rank and yields of nuclear weapons destroys one's confidence in the rest of their material. (They twice refer to a weapon as 5.5 megatons, but then call it 550 kilotons and they get the relative strength of a 20 megaton bomb and the Hirshima bomb wrong, also by a factor of ten.)
