Negative Positive
Title: A weak effort
Review: Okay, so I'm English but I have enjoyed the previous novels and was looking forward to this one. Now I don't mind a military novel if it is well written and the characters are believable, but this novel fails in many areas. The US Navy are too Hawkish and the SEALS are invincible superheroes (and how nice that three SAS soldiers are un-necessarily involved to make us Brits feel better) and the US President is portrayed as a rather pathetic individual rather then the leader of the free world! The writing is oddly stilted and I suppose the ending was supposed to have a twist, but in reality it was rushed and did not feel right. Mr Robinson has proved that he has in in him to write good navy novels and I hope he gets back on the right track again soon.
Is the review positive or negative?
