Out of the cold....

In the Arctic, two American intelligence operatives are kidnapped while investigating Russian submarines - a constant, covert presence beneath the ice caps. In Washington, ex-Marine Charlie Dean and his team at Desk Three trace the abduction back to the Russian mafia, who have their sights set on the massive reserves of oil that lie thousands of feet below the ocean's floor.

...into the line of fire.

While Dean is sent to the Arctic to rescue the hostages, the beautiful Lia Francesca penetrates a heavily guarded dacha on the shores of the Black Sea. There she learns the explosive truth about Russia and its Arctic oil - one that could cost Dean and his Deep Black team their lives...and drive the world's superpowers to the brink of war.

Overall I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed it more and more as it got closer to the end. The down side of it was that even into the middle, it was in large like a documentry. Then it switched into gear and was an all out thriller right to the end. It is definately a page turner! If you are into spy thrillers, you will enjoy this one.

Great Book

The plot in this book is good and the characters are ok. Every time the story changes a location which is often, the author put in the time date and GPS location. Sometimes this would occur every couple of minutes. It really distracted from the story.

Not one of his best books

This one is packed with action and gives a nice glimpse into aspects of geopolitics few people are focused on, but should be. Refreshingly, the characters act out of a moral certainty uncommon in the world today (literature included). Enlightens as it entertains. I often wonder how Coonts knows this stuff!

Best Coonts yet!

There were some very tense and exciting moments weaved in through a fast-paced story. I found it to be not only interesting but fun as well.

Really good!

Any additional comments?

I got tired of the non stop Latitude and Longitude updates with 12:43 UTC - 6 hours. That got HIGHLY annoying.

Very repetitive.

I love the Deep Black Series from Stephen Coonts. I miss that this one was not co-written along with Jim DeFelice. It is well written but you can tell the difference. The second issue I have is the constant irritation of the repitition of the the longitude and lattitude almost at the beginning of each sentence. The book would not lose anything without the constant references. It became so annoying at times I almost had to stop listening. There is another very upsetting twist in the plot that was disturbing to a loyal Deep Black fan. I will not be a spoiler here. But loyalists will be upset with the author.

I hope that the next Deep Black book will have Jim DeFelice back. I liked his style. I don't know why there was a change. He was missed in the novel. Still a good story line

Another long awaited Deep Black sequel

Just because he could, latest “not Steve Coonts” kills off major supporting character. Not an auspicious beginning. He does, at least, know that automatic weapons use magazines, not “clips” (as in Garand rifle). However, the narrator should do some research - he’d find NOAA is always referred to as “noah” not N—O-A—A. Usual storytelling otherwise.

New author kills off major character

I found this book hard to get into. It has a lot of action but little to make you connect with the characters. That being the case, I found myself not caring what happened to the characters - or the plot.

Not great

The Deep Black series attracted me because of the action. This one spends too much time with longwinded explanations, especially about global warming. And I was really unhappy with the turn of events early in the book. Maybe they are trying to go in a new direction with a new co-author. But it has probably lost me as a reader of the series.

Not one of my favorites
