About book The Shark Mutiny (2001)

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 were a key part of Kilo Class are once again a key part of military activies in the Strait of Hormuz and the Indian Ocean. Despiste Robinson's attempts, it really is difficult to comprehend the great size of the theater of operations created in the Shark Mutiny.And despite the title, the mutiny becomes a disappointing, if realist, footnote to this novel.All in all, well worth the time to wade through the detail (isn't that why we read Robinson and Tom Clancy?) of this fantasy/military tale.

This was an interesting book. It has a decent flow to it, and I liked the author's 'surprise twist' in it in reference to the Chinese. It kept my interest throughout [even though I had read it once before], and I thought the ending was decent.In this book, the Chinese and the Iranians form an alliance (view spoiler)[ to close the Straight of Hormuz with a mine field made up of Russian-built mines (hide spoiler)]

Do You like book The Shark Mutiny (2001)?

Picked this on up at a used book, half price sale. It had a submarine in flames on the cover. What the heck. A good action-packed testosterone romp thru the pre-9/11 world. Bad guys are bad, good guys are good. US military uber alles. Robinson loves St Ronnie of Reagan, hates Clinton, loves Iron Pants Maggie, hates journalists and any cuts to the military budget. His depiction of the military action is enjoyable and realistic. The seals are tough hombres. Hats off to them. I think the court marshal at the end of the book was a less than a good way to end the thing. A good summer read never-the-less.

I liked the details and descriptive ways in which the author portrayed the action sequences. It reminded me a lot of Tom Clancy actually. However, I felt the characters were weak and unbelievable. The SEALs were portrayed as flawless, brave, courageous, and tragic heroes. While I don't mind having a somewhat over the top antagonist, the paragraphs of adoring compliments for the military quickly gets tiring. The plot was also just plain unbelievable. I mean, I can accept that PacFleet would flood
