Mack Bedford was a former SEAL commander, a good one. When a group of Islamic militants used a French missile to annihilate his team members and then tried to surrender because they are now unarmed, he gunned them down. In the court martial that followed, he was forced to retire.Now a civilian, w...
I am glad to read a Robinson book without much of the two characters Admirals Morris and Morgan. Maybe they aren't meant to be distinguishable.And, like a lot of Robinson books, the good guys take a hit and bounce back. Cheap? Predictable? I love it. It psyches me up. He's clear about who the bad...
This was my first book by author Patrick Robinson and I'll have to give some serious thought as to whether or not I care to read another of his books. The book started out well enough and set a believeable scenario for the types of piracy that actually occur along in the IO and along the Somalian...
Jeg har brukt 2 uker på denne boka. Det sier vel det meste. Det har vært to utrooolig lange uker! Ikke har jeg hatt det spesielt travelt heller. Hvor enn så mye jeg ville så klarte jeg ikke å drive meg selv kjappere gjennom boka. Den er langsom. Fryktelig langsom. Og detaljert. Over-detaljert til...
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...
'Kilo Class' by all means is a very specific military (Navy) action-thriller that catered to that very reader(ship) group. Which leaves about almost all of us a bit alienated by the terms and turn of events that unfold in the story. I am not really sure if Robinson was trying to appeal to a wider...
Interesting book. I think I may have read it before - some if it is very interesting, some of it is so, so. It was good, overall. Had a decent flow to it. Character development for the villain was the main focus of the first few chapters. It is 'funny' how many future terrorists are let into ...
This is the third fictional book written by Patrick Robinson. I see on Goodreads it is indicated as being a part of a series called 'Admiral Arnold Morgan'; it is a nice indicator, I suppose, for this batch of books. I thought it had a good plot and flowed well, overall. It did not grip me qui...
A customer brought this into my work one day and personally handed it to me to read. He is an older gentleman and had always seen me with a book so he wanted to share one of his favorite authors.I had never read a book by Patrick Robinson before. Actually, I can't say I've ever seen his books b...
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. Arnold Morgan, but at this point (#7 in the series) it is to be expected, and is actually a lit...
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 ...
I already reviewed this on Amazon...but here's my take on it, anyway:Do not listen to 1-star reviews of this book by those taking on elitist attitudes towards the lack of flowery adjectives and fluff. It's more likely the writer's politics that bother them, so they assume the stance of literature...
