    Once Started, A Good Sea Story!
  

*by F***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018*

The first half of this book should be consolidated into one or two chapters. As it is, there is nothing but meetings, soul searching and hand wringing about the upcoming mission. Except for the prologue, the story doesn't get near the sea in this section. Just after the half way point, the action really picks up, and you have a very good sea story on your hands. The submarine action is very well done, but it would have been a good idea to include a few diagrams or charts to show what is happening. Details of the final phase of the mission are a little sparse, and it is left to the epilogue to tie up the loose ends.

    A revanchist Russian premier plots to rebuild the Soviet empire - and decapitate America
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2018*

More than 30 years after Clancy’s “Hunt for Red October”, first-line subs have not lost their capacity to fascinate in the hands of a fine storyteller.Larry Bond’s sub procedurals featuring Jerry Mitchell are always good, and this is no exception. Bond crafts a plot with higher stakes than usual. There’s always tension in a sub novel, as our heroes risk detection and almost certain death hundreds of feets deep. But Bond gives us the risk of nuclear war both with a new twist and in way that feels real and plausible.Putin’s successor thinks along similar lines. He eyes the rest of Ukraine, the Baltic States - and more. And he plots to neutralize NATO while he tilts the balance of power.With tensions ramping up in Eastern Europe, a sub commanded by one of Mitchell’s pals is sunk off Russia’s Arctic coast. But photos transmitted just before show an offshore construction project.Mitchell’s onetime captain Lowell Hardy is now president, and his wife Joanna Paterson is former National Security Adviser. The White House reaches a stunning conclusion: the Russians have a new first-strike nuclear weapon and will use it, moving on the former Soviet states during the chaos created. Troop movements, masked as field exercises, are really preparations for invasion.Mitchell, now a squadron commander, is sent on his best sub as commodore to advise the captain in a dangerous mission: taking out the underwater Russian weapon site, where his good friend just died, before it can be used.There’s a lot to like about these novels. The first half is growingly tense talk as the administration and their spooks and engineers try to dope out what’s going on. How can they tell the lost sub crew’s families what happened without admitting to spying on the Russians, or tipping the Russians to how much they already know?Bond gives us great realism in how the Great Game is played at high levels these days, and the subtlety involved in bringing complex technology to bear on the other side’s equally complex technology to glean the truth and grasp what the moment now requires. In a scenario where no adversaries ever see each other, we see combat of wills in Washington between competing national security visions, and on the sub between Mitchell and the sub’s captain, who sees Mitchell’s presence as a vote of no confidence.Mitchell is the most bland of action heroes. Bond’s characters all tend to be two-dimensional. I hardly ever remember them, but I remember the theaters of war - South Africa, a fictional European war where France and Germany are the bad guys, his four part series on a Chinese invasion of Vietnam, the frozen waters off the Russian coast.Perhaps that’s the nature of procedurals: the characters recede so we can focus on the situations and the gear, and in the contrast between what a cautious, bold or reckless person might do - and what a smart one does.Mitchell (both smart and bold) is a regular guy who has worked his way up, distinguished himself heroically, bucked orders a few times but (of course) been proven right, and been happily blessed knowing a power couple who become president and National Security Adviser. We tend to like him: he’s considerate of those around him, decisive, smart, but he’s not quirky or distinctive in any way.What’s interesting here is the technology and tactics: what it takes for a nuclear submarine to sneak into the enemy’s most closely guarded lair, then escape without starting a world war.

    The Russians are Unscrupulous
  

*by S***G on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2019*

While this should not surprise anyone, the Russian leader wants to take Europe and keep the US from intervening.  There is a new US President (with USN Submarine background – convenient), the Russian President is a heavy handed, prior KGB thug, satiated with early successes he just knows that the US will be impotent with his new weapon threatening them.  Our hero, Jerry Mitchell and the US Navy Submarine force save the day, using all the technology and luck they have (no luck just professionalism, maybe).  Larry Bond continues to write novels that keep you reading long after you should have turned the light out.
