Format:Paperback
I've read a few Terence Strong novels before, and I find his writing an effort at times, as is the case here. Deadwater Deep sounds immensely exciting on the back cover, but is in fact immensely dull. The contrived and stretched plot plods along for hundreds of pages, before being poorly tied up in a few dozen pages at the end, with an extremely inplausible close that is the only action in the whole book. Strong's depiction of American characters is awful (unless they really do say "Bloody hell" and other British-isms a lot) and there are few, if any, significant plot twists. The whole thing is hard work, which is a shame as the subject matter, treated better, could make for a cracking read.

Format:Paperback
Given the polical situation in South East Asia in recent years, the back-ground and detailed research put into the book makes the plot realistic. It is easy to read and hard to put down. Not a single page is dull. A good balance between action, development of characters and an ever-thickening plot involves the reader throughout.

Format:Paperback
Carefully researched and intelligently written, but it lacked enough movement of the plot to keep me reading. I am afraid that I gave up after 100 pages. The cover seemed to promise action, but the book itself contained very little (so far) just endless political machinations.
