Title: VERY Disappointing -- Patrick Robinson is losing his touch
Review: Let me be clear: I am a fan of Patrick Robinson. Nimitz Class and HMS Unseen were wonderful novels.Unfortunately, USS Seawolf does NOT even come close to his previous quality of novels. First, characters are overly simplistic and, to a large extent, needlessly racist. The author's constant derogatory remarks regarding the Chinese was EXTREMELY offensive and did not serve the story. Second, the ending was awful. The story did nothing to allude to the sudden abrupt change in character. Third, the book was highly predictable (with the noted exception of the ending, which did not follow any sense of logic).Overall, this was a disappointment. If you have not read his previous books, spend your money on those instead, and forget all about USS Seawolf.
