D'biter scores! Aye, it is the infamous Tom Clancy's SSN.



From the review:

Quote:
The author of nearly a dozen international best sellers in the "techno-thriller" genre, Tom Clancy's SSN is his initial foray into the realm of computer simulations. For all the hoopla about the accuracy of his insights into the classified nature of weapons systems, Tom Clancy’s SSN is a far departure from real life. The simulation has a very involved plot of an impending world crisis, involving the Chinese, everyone’s favorite baddies now that the Soviets are relegated to the history books. You are the Captain of a Los Angeles class nuclear attack sub, and you can expect trouble at any moment. Okay, that sounds like a pretty good start. But if you demand technical realism from your sim, you will be disappointed here.

Man, you guys are good, but prepare to be frustrated, Mystery Subsim #19 will have you pulling your hair out.
