New sub novel: Rise to Victory

Just finished both books. Had to order Pride Runs Deep after reading Rise to Victory. Both great books! It makes me hungry for more books on the Pacific Sub fleet.

Ok, finished Pride Runs Deep, pretty good novel. Characters were believeable and interesting, dialogue was serviceable, plot was exceptional. Cooke is one to watch.

Just finished it too. I think though the rescue of the stranded away team was too much like the rescue of that lieutenant and his group from Icland in Red Storm Rising. Other than that, It was great book.

I just finished this book as well. I have to say that although the story was "bareable" the number and magnitude of bad decisions was just too much...

... sending a sub for a job that should have been done with a destroyer and seal team... as well as the bad decisions of the captain (some of them just plain dumb) were pretty distracting.

I'ld describe the book as too "hollywood". With a plot more like something in a hollywood movie than truly believable plot. 2.5 out 5 stars.
