Terminal Run

Michael Pacino #7

by Michael DiMercurio

One ship could revolutionize submarine warfare as we know the USS Snarc. A robotic combat sub carrying no crew, the Snarc has proven unbeatable in sea trials. And now it has fallen into the hands of an unseen enemy.   The Snarc’s first the nuclear sub carrying the son of former admiral Michael Pacino. The only man who can match wits with the Snarc, Pacino reenters the game in a high-tech underwater battle unlike any that’s been fought before, one that could engulf the world in war—and bring him face-to-face with his nemesis.

Reviews

[Stefan Vucak · Rating 3 out of 5]

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.
