America, Britain, and Russia are drawn into a battle for a gigantic oil strike on the desolate Falkland Islands in Patrick Robinson's newest international thriller.The year is 2011, and Russia is poised to help Argentina blast its way into the Falkland Islands, to hurl the ruling British out of t...
My actual review doesn't quite support 4 stars; the variables of this book spread accross the world and strain the limits of suspension of disbelief. Not a big deal. With Robinson, Admiral Arnold Morgan and his ever-patient fiancee/secretary Kathy, disbelief is a common feeling.The Seals which ...
By the time I was finished, I was very pleased. It took about a hundred pages of coincidence-driven set-up and some cartoon-ish characterization, especially that of the author's vicarious stand-in Adm.

Nimitz Class has a decent plot, a lot of interesting technical information about submarines, carrier fleets, and Naval operations. ON the surface this book had the potential of being a Tom Clancy class Naval thriller. However, the author dropped the ball by rushing his story telling.One would t...
