Title: Even fiction must be at least credible!
Review: Those among my fellow reviewers that lauded this book for realism must be blissfully unaware of the most fundamental aspects of naval warfare.Imagine the largest task force of the U.S. Navy sailing into harm's way at 40 knots with no anti-submarine screen, in tight parade formation, ready for the picking. It's insulting. When you add a mini-sub docking to a larger one without so much of a ping heard in the target sub, even the base premise for the book falls through.Of course, it's the only way for Mercurio to bugle his hero like John Wayne in a bad western. While PAcino, as a recurring character should, has depth and is attaching, all other characters are pathetic one-liners. What a joke!
