Negative Positive
Title: SSN totally lacking in suspense
Review: I had a real problem with the way SSN is written: the narrative style reports every sub battle in a passive, after-the-fact style that leaves no doubt what will happen. Even if you know the good guys (assume Americans) will win every battle with nary a scratch, at least include dialog and elements of tension that suggest other possible outcomes. I would find it implausible that any U.S. sub could outthink, outmanuever, and outgun so many opponents. Beware these ghost writer books with Clancy's name on them.
