content: Another winner from DiMercurio! This is his best novel yet of the ones I've read so far, and contains some great action scenes and imaginative technology of the future, which doesn't always run as planned, note the SSNX, a brand new high-tech sub in a combat situation. The description of the new supersub is so highly detailed yet easy to understand, even for non-military readers. The story concerns a war between divided states in a new China escalating, and US navy units sent to deal with the Chinese's latest acquisitions, a Japanese Rising Sun-class sub, are attacked with plasma explosive torpedoes and sunk. So enter our hero Admiral Michael Pacino and a host of ongoing characters with the very latest weaponry and subs available to try to avert a major world war! This book is so entertaining and action-packed you won't want to put it down. What more can one say, buy this book now!
