About this audiobook
It was an unprovoked attack, a deliberate act of aggression. When Vice Admiral Mike Brannon of the U.S. Navy received word that the wreck of the Sharkfin had been found, with a gaping hole in its stern, he could only conclude that the Soviets had, without warning, attacked and destroyed a U.S. nuclear submarine. He could not let the incident pass without retaliation. Yet whatever steps he took, he risked leading the two superpowers into a state of war. If he informed the President, it might take weeks for Congress to take action-too long. Whatever response was to be made, it had to be made decisively and immediately.
Harry Homewood presents a novel of mounting tension; a story of today's naval superpowers locked in a deadly battle that brings an unknowing world to the brink of nuclear holocaust.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I like submarine thrillers - favorite authors include Patrick Robinson, Edward Beach, and of course Clancy for Red October.This was decent and a worthwhile fast read but didn't match up with the aforesaid luminaries. For my taste, there wasn't enough sub action - the tactics, tech stuff, and mind games. This set in the Brezhnev Cold War days (but ironically a fictitious US president!) and this is a significant part of the story.I'd guess I'd summarise by saying it was a decetn read but I don't think I've found a new sub thriller author. Too bad!
