Tensions between Siberia and Moscow are running high, but the sudden disappearance of leading top-tier Siberian politicians and oil executives sparks open outrage in the vast lands east of the Ural. Terrified that Siberia will sever their ties and deprive Russia of its most important oil source, Moscow turns to a new supplier in the South Atlantic: the Falkland Islands. In an undercover mission, they persuade Argentina to invade the islands again. In return for oil rights, Moscow's hunter-killer submarine, Viper 157, will take out the British aircraft carrier arriving to recapture the islands, leaving Argentina free to claim the 'malvinas.' The United States are furious at this act of international piracy - and the fact that their largest oil giant owns the very same oil rights. Under the stern eye of Admiral Morgan, the navy Seals bring in the legendary Commander Rick Hunter. Their mission: to hammer Argentina's military and free the Falklands. For the fabled Hunter, the assignment has struck close to home. His English brother-in-law and an SAS Special Forces team are trapped on East Falkland, on the run from an Argentinean shoot-to-kill man-hunt, out of contact.

Well, I am a real Robinson fan (based on many of his other books). But this book is......well.....not good! You almost get the feeling his agent was on his back to get another novel 'out on the shelves' ASAP. Well, in that respect he succeeded. But the quality of this book is just quite unbelievably bad. If you really want to buy this book, go get it from your local library as it will save you a fiver and the walk will do you good. Otherwise, if you like your submarine warfare novels, go try out Joe Buff or one of the other more recent military/techno-thriller/political authors!

In the synopsis, PR states that he's had little or no advice on writing this book. From reading the book, it looks like it's not been edited either....
It's Blair and Government beating is astounding - And I'm no fan of either myself. I did find myself thinking, at one point, that he had some points about the military being run down, but then I'd find myself thinking that he's just on his political high horse.
I'm a huge fan of Patrick Robinson, but this book was a massive let down. If I wanted political rhetoric, I'd've bought something else.
I've given it 2 stars instead of 1 as the story does bring back one of my favorite characters and despite the political nonsense is a "brain in neutral" book - not unlike a Die Hard film really (without the politicism).

If I could have given this 0 stars I would have done. I stopped reading after 150 pages when Robinson annoyed me too much. It is a shame, as I have always found Admiral Morgan a very interesting character. Unfortunately the rest of the book is a shambles. Poorly researched, and sloppy throughout (well throughout those 150 pages anyway). Robinson fell into his usual trap of letting his own political views bias his writing. Unfortunately he made statements with regards to British politics that are plain incorrect. There are also other statements which, while a matter of opinion, are stomach churningly one sided and right wing, ie. "the guiding light of goodness and purpose that had always gripped Margaret Thatcher"
His grasp on all things British is poor at best, but unfortunately he passes himself off as an expert. PLEASE AVOID THIS BOOK.
Utterly

Good though not his best.
An absorbing story with a backdrop of the Falklands. Grudging acknowledgement of the high status of the SAS (though obviously not as good as SEALS!). Read more

It was okay
I quite enjoyed it but it tended to drag on a bit at the end with the special forces stuff. Where was the exclusion zone, where were the submarine launched cruise missiles? Read more

Very Very poorly written
I am generally a very big fan of this type of book, but found this one to be completely dire. It seemed that it was written with the background knowledge of a 5 year old! Read more
