Title: Nice start then it headed for the bottom.
Review: Having just read "Kilo Class", which I enjoyed, I thought that I'd give "U.S.S. Seawolf" a try. I certainly was disappointed. Robinson returns many interesting characters, both American and Chinese, in this book and starts out with an interesting plot involving new Chinese submarine and nuclear capabilities. But about half way through the story the plot twists become so dramatic and sensational that they become unbelievable and farfetched. I've got nothing against irrational or unlikely outcomes but Robinson falls to make then plausible. Overall it's not a very good book. Had I not been on a long flight, with nothing else to read, I don't think that I would have finished it.
Is the review positive or negative?
