Title: SPOILER ALERT: Poor Judgement
Review: I love fiction but am not fond of fantasy and characters who exercise unrealistically poor common sense. This was obvious when the main character did not notify the proper chain of command after he theorized correctly that a terrorist-lead, nuclear-missile armed ship is headed straight toward them. After the initial meeting with the sub's Captain (not the Commander) who sends an arrest team after a culprit, he never issues orders to protect his crew or sub. Another poor decision was made to surface the sub to send a message about a new murder not about the nuclear missile threat. This made the sub a sitting-duck waiting to be attacked. What sub Captain or Commander would make dumb decisions like this? Even after the torpedos hit, the NCIS team ask each other what is happening. The whole book was strange. I felt no real attachment to any of the characters. But I'm very glad our real life military functions better than this!
