Michael Pacino #7

Terminal Run

Rate this book
Le haut commandement de la marine des Etats-Unis est décapité. La plupart des officiers généraux ont péri à bord du Princess Dragon , désintégré par des torpilles à plasma au large de la Virginie. Parmi les rescapés, l’ancien chef d’état-major, l’amiral Michael Pacino, dit «Patch».Le responsable de ce massacre : un groupe terroriste, qui a depuis piraté les réseaux de l’armée américaine et pris le contrôle du Snarc , le fleuron de l’US Navy, un sous-marin sans équipage doté d’un cerveau biologique surpuissant, réputé imbattable. L’objectif du Snarc , qui demeure tapi dans les profondeurs de l’Atlantique : lancer des armes de destruction massive contre la Maison-Blanche et le Pentagone.Pour défendre leur territoire, les Etats-Unis ont-ils encore un recours ? Pas tant que leurs forces sous-marines sont postées en mer de Chine, où la situation est explosive. Sauf, peut-être, s’ils font appel à un amiral à la retraite et lui confient leur dernier prototype. Sera-ce l’ultime combat de «Patch», face à son ennemi de toujours, l’amiral Novskoy ?

I enjoyed immensely Michael DiMercurio's eralier works, such as 'Barracuda Final Bearing' and 'Attack of the Seawolf'. They combined expertise in submarine warfare and good characterization. With 'Terminal Run', Mercurio has abandoned his characters, making them superficial. This book is a process and procedures manual, not a gripping drama. Disappointing.

Primo libro di DiMercurio che leggo, un thriller interessante alla Tom Clancy. La trama è appassionante, però...però non è Tom Clancy, nel senso che non è scritto altrettanto bene. A volte un po' ripetitivo ma soprattutto...un lieto fine davvero troppo.
Non l'ho ancora bocciato, per il momento è solo rimandato a settembre.
