Title: Submarines + right-wing rhetoric = bad book
Review: I have all of Patrick Robinson's previous books. While nothing special, they all had decent stories containing a bunch of comptetent American military men cruising around the world in submarines or undergoing secret operations to keep the world free for the American way.The characters and plot in USS Seawolf are fairly standard Robinson. The characters aren't too deep. The plot is ok, but is very slow in the middle.However, after finishing USS Seawolf, I felt that I like I had been bludgeoned over the head with right wing ideas without mercy for 3 hours straight. According to the book, politicians are stupid, Chinese are evil, and military men are the only people worth anything on this planet (unless they're the offspring of politicans, in which case they're useless).I was prepared for an average techno-military thriller. Instead, I got a book that seems like it should have been serialized in an ultra-right-wing magazine.
Is the review positive or negative?
