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.
