Yes, I just finished reading Depth of Revenge and am itchin' to build a campaign (or at least, a scenario or two) around it. RA would be just the ticket for making that feasible.

Is that book good?
Should I order it?

mau: The story is a really good and interesting gedankenexperiment about the second-strike capability of a diesel sub armed with nuke-tipped cruise missiles, even with little to no support.

But the writing is atrocious

. At times unbearable. The most climatic moments are solved in less than one deadpan paragraph, and you feel you've been cheated

. It's begging for a rewrite into a lengthier techno-thriller. Or, at least, the hand of an editor. I think people shouldn't self-publish without hiring an editor to at least take a cursory look.
The upside of this is that it's short and cheap, so yes, worth it.
