Product Description:
For years, the Ohio–class submarine served as one of the frontline weapons in America's nuclear Navy. But with the collapse of the USSR, America needs to modernize its arsenal to take into account its new enemies. With that goal, the Navy begins a controversial conversion of the USS Ohio to take America into the future of naval warfare.
The Ohio's ballistic missiles have been replaced, the tubes now capable of a two–pronged attack. What had been used to house ICBMs now can contain SEALs or a new prototype of underwater submarine, a revolutionary undersea fighter that flies through the water, striking targets at will.
Both barrels will be brought to bear against America's newest enemy, Iran. The zealots in power have unleased a terrible two–pronged plan, hoping to attack oil rich nations Oman and the UAE, while at the same time lauching a devasting attack on the American Fifth Fleet in the Gulf. Only one group of sailors and commandos can stop them -- the compliment of the USS Ohio.

Like all his books, great page turner with a lot of action and realistic. His books are also a good way to keep up on the latest in submarine technology BTW. A few characters, e.g., the captain of the Ohio, may have been a little sketchy, or a little to sterotyped, e.g., love sick sonarman, but not bad. Liked all his books, this one no expection.

Kept me interested without being too far fetched (from what this civvie can tell). I haven't finished the last couple chapters so I can't ruin the ending. The story involves Iran and I've heard Iran mentioned in the news over the last couple days. Made me chuckle, then get nervous ! The action was good without being over the top and the characters were believable and likable.
There is a prototype mini-sub that operates somewhat similar to an airplane in that it has no ballast, "flies" ... Read More

Another good read from h. Jay Riker. Have purchased all his books and he is one of my favorite authors. Can't wait for the next book.
