Dogfish Project

by Tom Haynie

As Dogfish Project opens in the middle of the 21st century, the proliferation of nuclear weapons in third world countries with a grudge has resulted in near global nuclear war. In the aftermath, the world is divided into two opposing factions, the New World Order (NWO) and the Allied West Federation (AWF.) The conflict between these two super powers has evolved into a technologically advanced Cold War. The NWO plans to get the upper hand by launching into orbit an electronic threat that will take the AWF to its knees. AWF Naval Commander Tom O'Donnell has led the development of a top secret submarine for the past eighteen months. Designated the Dogfish Project, the Nuclear Ultra-Morphic Submersible (NUMSUB) is the most advanced weapon system the world has ever known. It looks like a submarine and moves like a submarine, but that is where the resemblance ends. O'Donnell has barely three months to convert NUMSUB from experimental to operational. It's the only hope the AWF has of taking out the NWO threat. Not only must they neutralize the threat, but he and his crew of highly trained specialists must do it in complete secrecy. Take the journey with Commander O'Donnell as his crew faces nearly insurmountable obstacles. Unless they succeed, he and his team will perish and the world will come under the control of the NWO. Failure is not an option.

[Mors · Rating 3 out of 5]

The whole idea of the story behind the book isn't bad, and realistic to an extent. But you can tell the author is a bit new to writing as the book drifts and wanes in places, and the ending is fairly predictable. Not a bad book, I've read worse, but I'd struggle to recommend it.

I found this to be an excellent read. A lot of action. Set in the near future and keeps your interest from page to page. I'm hoping this author writes another. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
