1) Mass Market Paperback Book Nimitz Class by HarperTorch. Well, you can´t complain much over a 75 cent garage sale investment but the enjoyment to time spent ratio was pretty low. Robinson spends way too much time developing characters that are killed off by page 70. Then the handsome naval officer, MIT PhD, cowboy, opera critic, wine connoisseur, etc. catches the bad guy and lands the Admiral´s daughter. Yawn.¤

2) Mass Market Paperback Book Nimitz Class by HarperTorch. I would not recommend this book to anyone. The whole cast of characters rang false. Don´t bother.¤

3) Mass Market Paperback Book Nimitz Class by HarperTorch. I am so sick of the political undercurrents in Patrick Robinson´s books that I have stopped reading them. Though the stories are good, Robinson diminishes them by labeling and pigeonholing and demeaning anybody he does not agree with politically - especially Democrats. I stopped reading Scimiter SL-2 because I got so sick of it. I´m sure HarperCollins would sell more books if they could get him to stop the bashing.

4) Mass Market Paperback Book Nimitz Class by HarperTorch. Kept me on the edge of my seat, couldn´t put it down. Inaccurate? Hardly. This was written with the consultation of the retired commander of the British submarine fleet.¤

5) Mass Market Paperback Book Nimitz Class by HarperTorch. This is a book for right-wing people who never met a military person who didn´t cause them to think, "What a man!!" (There aren´t that many military women in this book.) And people who think that the US military goes all over the world making it safe for us and others. And people who think it´s fine to talk about shutting down a newspaper that prints things disagreeable to the military. One might wonder why someone like me kept listening to this book. I can only answer that I was promised excitement and many twists and turns. But there were hardly any of these. I skipped many tracks and followed the story just fine. And exciting??? The protagonist can´t drink a cup of coffee without your having to hear how it tasted. If you think this is exciting, have at it.¤

6) Mass Market Paperback Book Nimitz Class by HarperTorch. The most powerful warship in the world, the nuclear-powered U.S. Nimitz-Class aircraft carrier is seen as impregnable. But when the USS Thomas Jefferson suddenly disappears at sea, the Pentagon is stunned. There was no warning. No apparent attack. And no survivors. All signs point to a tragic nuclear accident.

While the world stands in shock, reports suggest that it was no accident. A rogue submarine armed with nuclear warheads may be on the loose. Where did it come from? How could it get within striking distance of the Thomas Jefferson? Worse yet, where is it now and could it strike again? The tension mounts, and a deadly chase begins.¤

7) Mass Market Paperback Book Nimitz Class by HarperTorch. At least one Amazon.com customer has found several errors of naval rank and military history in the first few pages of Patrick Robinson´s blockbuster about a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier suddenly vaporized by a terrorist submarine. But if you´re a plain, old-fashioned thrill seeker like me, you´ll probably zip right past them as you try to keep up with the Tom Clancy-like explosion of technical trivia and plot twists. This is one of those books you pick up right after X-Files, planning to read for an hour before bed. Next thing you know it´s 5 a.m., you´ve still got 50 pages to go--and you keep on reading.¤
