Reviews

[Glen · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Hunt For Red October jumpstarted a whole bunch of series based in submarines. Depth Force is one of the one of the longest running, I believe.

In this one, a Russian plane crash-landed on an island of ice. There's a defector with a doomsday virus. The American sub has to rescue him, but a Russian killer sub is tasked with stopping them.

Better than it had to be.

Great book. Loads of action!!

A real page turner for sure. You just can’t put it down. It keeps you on the edge of your chair.

While generally a good read, I prefer the action sequences of preparing for and actual battle. Hopefully there will be more to come in future books.
