War Plan Red

Jake Scott #1

by Peter Sasgen

THE GREATEST DANGER HIDES IN THE DEPTHS OF DECEIT.In a Murmansk hotel, a U.S. naval officer is found dead along with a young Russian sailor in what is labeled a murder/suicide -- but American navy commander Jake Scott thinks otherwise. Assigned to escort the dead officer's body back to the United States, Scott discovers that his predecessor had uncovered a secret that cost him his life -- and may cost Scott even more.

Aided by alluring weapons expert Alexandra Thorne, Jake uncovers a conspiracy of betrayal, terror, and vengeance intended to target a tense summit meeting of the American and Russian presidents. Taking the helm of a Russian sub, Scott must race against the clock -- and face off against an unseen enemy under the waves -- if he hopes to prevent a nuclear strike

that could ignite World War III.

I read this book in January 2020. The book started promisingly, the suicide/murder of the American piqued suspense. But then it went downhill quickly. The sheer implausibility of an American sub commander taking out a Russian submarine is, to say the least, glaring. More impossible is his familiarity with equipment, systems and construction! And then the convenient disablement of the original captain of the Russian sub! If you can suspend your logic for sometime, read this book.
