JRM has displayed in a previous Rogue novels that introduced his intellectual knowledge of the workings of a nuclear submarine. He continued that style of writing in a second novel and was able to maintain a level of writing to keep this reader interested from cover to cover. I do believe you will love his work or out it down in dismay. If you put it down in dismay you are an ex but it returned nuc. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

A jumble
The plot, to me, went from pillar to post with little connection. The submarine action was not really credible unless it is an acoustic torpedo they can be avoided at long range. Go quiet and flood for depth.

July 9, 2021Enjoyed this just as much as the 1st one. Now reading 7th in the series. A bit too much non-essential detail ocassionally, but that will not put me off reading the whole series, and hoping Mr Monteith keeps writing. Reccomended.

Rogue Betrayer by John R. Monteith
When I first read Rogue Crusader and then Rogue Avenger I stated that I wondered if the Navy was offering creative writing to it's officers. I am almost sure of it now. This novel is the second in an alphabetically titled series of naval action thrillers. Mirroring current events you have the Chinese the Taiwanese, Pakistanis and the United States leavened with a large dose of Islamic terrorism.
Jake Slate and Pierre Renard are back with a vengeance after Rogue Avenger. Renard has a child and is happily married. Jake has a love interest in a CIA agent. You would think with that description it would be peaceful and relaxing, you would be wrong.
Once again, Monteith delivers a slam dunk of nail biting action and intrigue. Submarine battles, political subterfuge and strange bedfellows along with noble, self sacrifice characterize this book.
John has been successful in bringing a plot, characters and action together into a highly exciting read.
I highly recommend this work and the rest of the series.

Great but for some few niggles: Chapter 20 ... "Olivia thought the upscale executive jet seemed juxtaposed with the P-3 Orion anti-submarine aircraft and the F-16 attack jets." Er, what?
