Hunter Killer
by Patrick Robinson
Performed by Simon Vance
Patrick Robinson, author of Scimitar Sl-2, U.S.S. Seawolf
and Barracuda 945, brings listeners another action-packed
military thriller. It's 2009. America has a new president, but surprise,
surprise, the world -- and France -- still aren't happy with the
US. A
Saudi Prince wants to overthrow the Saudi royal family. France and
their Hunter Killer submarines take part in the coup d'état, along
with a Colonel Jacques Gamoudi. The oil or lack of it, affects the
US. The government brings in Admiral Morgan along with Lieutenant
Commander Ramshawe. When the two learn about the takeover, they
also discover an old nemesis, Rashood, is involved. Morgan and Ramshawe's
goal? to catch the lead man -- Gamoudi -- in the takeover. Scene
after scene is military action, technology, and political planning.
As with any of Robinson's other military thrillers, listeners can
expect big screen action in this abridged audio edition.
Simon
Vance narrates Hunter Killer. At some points the reading
did lull a bit, but the action of the novel itself kept my attention.
I discovered Robinson's novels through audio books and still find
them most enjoyable in this format.
