Terminal run is a story in the near future when the third world war between China and the Western World is about to go loose. The story is faced paced with not a lot of unneeded story lines. It's gripping in the sense that you get involved with the main characters who are human. It's not your typical hero wins but pritty realistic altough slightly over the top at times. I've been reading this book with a lot of pleasure. I can certanly recommend this book

Submarine Technology
23 Feb 2003
Format:Paperback
It is refreshing to read a book on submarine technology where the author is intimately familiar with existing methods, procedures and technologies. Demecurio certainly is, and he uses to the best advantage. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who likes tales of submerged warfare.

one of the worst!
8 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
I have read all of this author's work to date, this is by far the worst! I suppose if you'd never been aboard a submarine, and/or were a Women's Rights Advocate, or a techno geek you might like it, but...
Within a few pages we are introduced to "power women", SEALS, Officers aboard submarines, etc., even carrier based air squadron commanders. The hero here, son of the previous hero, is Patch Jr., a midshipman at Annapolis. Within a few minutes of reporting aboard a submarine at New London, he is given the "con" (as in command of the ship) to get her underway by pulling a daredevil driving stunt...this would never, ever happen. Within a few days of being at sea, he is sleeping with the engineering officer (a great argument against women on submarines)...and the techno stuff gets so confusing eventually you simply want to give up trying to follow any of the concurrent plots.
This one is a waste of time, effort and brain cells!

Two Pacinos, better than one!
2 Nov 2002
Format:Paperback
I am a big fan of this series, and Mr. DiMercurio has not failed to keep me hooked with his latest installment. "Terminal Run" is a highly character driven and action packed novel that doesn't let you go until the last page. The twist that he throws at the end is unpredictable, and innovative for a book of this genre.
There are a few authors, like John Sandford with his "Prey" novels, that can keep continuing characters, and the situations that they face, fresh and unique to the prior books in their series. Mr. DiMercurio is one of those who able to accomplish this difficult task. His main characters age and have careers that are realistic. They are also not omnipotent and without flaws.
He is also able to tweak your imagination with the potential capabilities of future military hardware. The hardware is not perfect, and goes through a real-world evolutionary growth process. It truly makes you wonder what equipment the Navy is carrying on our new Seawolf class and upcoming Virginia class submarines.
My only disappointment in reading "Terminal Run" is that I have to wait for his next installment. As with all of this novels, this book is a stand alone. There are brief mentions to storylines in his previous books, but they are not spoilers. Once you give this book a read, you will find yourself ordering the prior six books in this series.
