About this audiobook
It is the year 2007, and the Chinese are poised to challenge America's superiority on the open sea and upset the delicate balance of oil power in the Middle East and the free passage of the world's giant tankers.
The Chinese Navy, in partnership with Iran, has laid a minefield clean across the Strait of Hormuz, holding the world's oil supply hostage. Mystified by China's motive, yet drawn to action, the United States moves to disarm the mines with a huge display of force. At the center of the mission is USS Shark, a 30-year-old nuclear boat on her final tour of duty. When confronted with the unexpected death of brave SEALs, the unimaginable happens: the first mutiny in the modern history of the United States Navy.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is in the Admiral Morgan series, but it's really a book about SEALs and their work. If it was a book about Morgan, it would be about interactions in DC, not about SEALS in the Middle East. The work of Admiral Morgan is really third or fourth priority among priorities in this book....background. It kept my interest throughout--the ending was good and true to form for the USN. Some of the discussion was very intricate and technical, indicating an ability to research by this author. This story is really a very close parallel with the Caine Mutiny; even contains a reference to Captain Queeg. Again, I criticize the author for his parochial US Navy attitude. Not even the Navy is non Joint any more...other options were not even considered by POTUS. That resulted in a naval direction for the book. Robinson....figure out that there are other Services, please! Oh, and the Brit narrator is a pretty good reader, but detracts from the story because he's not believable. There was an Aussie analyst, but he was fleeting also.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good book for a rainy weekend or a boring journey, best check in your critical faculties with your luggage...
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is my first Patrick Robinson book. I thought it was pretty good -- at least entertaining, though I felt the China/Taiwan storyline was unresolved, and the trial (court-martial) at the end seemed really quick. Plus I felt some of the swearing was a bit forced. This book entertained me enough that I will probably try another Patrick Robinson novel.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not one of Robinson's better efforts. Scarecly credible scenario of Chinese diversionary moves before an attack on Taiwan, but most of book taken up with long account of undercover operations against Chinese bases. More than usually one -sided and in parts full of racial stereotyping.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This series continues to extend itself and hasn't fallen into a boring pattern like some other series books.In this novel we have an expansionist China in cohorts with Iran attempting to strangle oil routes whilst also launching another surprise attack elsewhere once the US Navy is tied up in the Middle East.Enjoyable, fast paced and realistic.
