Title: Ignore this book
Review: I have read numerous submarine novels by authors such as Tom Clancy and Michael DiMercurio. Their books are far better than this. USS Seawolf is one big cliche. First of all, the characters are all one dimensional. The Chinese are portrayed as the evil supervillains, while the Americans are all red blooded patriots. The plot is simplistic. Plus, Robinson's writing style is mediocre at best. His descriptions are good (possibly the only good thing about this book) but his dialogue is sub-par. If you want a good naval novel, read Hunt for Red October, or Phoenix Sub Zero (by Michael DiMercurio). Just not USS Seawolf.
