A Crown Prince, enraged over the careless, destructive rule of the Saudi royal family, is determined to bring about its fall -- and secretly enlists the aid of a powerful Western ally. France, with its fleet of lethal Hunter Killer submarines, is willing to use whatever deadly force is necessary to shift the power structure of the world's oil giant for a guaranteed share of the wealth. Blind greed and duplicity have forged an unholy alliance -- between France's most able commander . . . and General Ravi Rashood, the Middle East's most virulent terrorist. The terrifying battle for a desert kingdom has begun, as the oil fields explode and the global economy is plunged into chaos. And former Security Advisor to the President, Admiral Arnold Morgan, must lead the offensive to expose the foulest treachery since World War II before America's worst nightmare becomes reality. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Full of political drivel I am so sick of the political undercurrents in Patrick Robinson's books that I have stopped reading them. Though the stories are good, Robinson diminishes them by labeling and pigeonholing and demeaning anybody he does not agree with politically - especially Democrats. I stopped reading Scimiter SL-2 because I got so sick of it. I'm sure HarperCollins would sell more books if they could get him to stop the bashing. Rating:  - Hunter KillerOutstanding book...Tom Clancy shoud take lessons from Patrick Robinson and go back to writing realistic military thrillers. Hunter Killer is hard to put down once started. Rating:  - Not Free SF ReaderAnother of Patrick Robinson's submarine technothrillers. Not as much submarine action in this one, as a fundamentalist Saudi prince and the French government join forces to blow up the Saudi oil supply and cause a revolution. Crusty old Admiral Morgan, retired, is still calling the shots, with his aussie offsider. A French Special Forces major is at the heart of the action, pursued by everyone. This is basically all plot, reading like a description of a military mission, for large parts. Read More Rating: - Excellent Military NovelPatrick Robinson hits a home run every time. I love the way he incorporates submarine tactics and Navy SEALs! His newest book is as the co-author of the tragic events surrounding SEAL Team 10 in Afghanistan: Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 Another recent novel that includes these events is The Y Factor: The Y Factor Rating: - Captivating and believable!This is a fast paced book and I really couldn't put it down. I finished reading it in two days, and on the second day stayed up till four in the morning in order to finish it. Only The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown succeeded in keeping me up so late! The following is the plot of this book so if you haven't read the book please STOP READING THIS NOW! The story takes place in 2009, and is about the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Nasir, planning to overthrow his cousin, the king. ... Read More
