About this ebook
Jerry Mitchell is on exercises off the coast of Pakistan when his submarine, the USS Michigan, is ordered to a rendezvous off the Iranian coast. Once there, disembarked SEALs---experts in seaborne commando operations---are to extract two Iranian nationals who have sensitive information on Iran's nuclear weapons program.
While en route to shore, Michigan's mini-sub suffers a battery fire, killing one crew member and forcing the survivors---four SEALs and LCDR Mitchell---to scuttle their disabled craft and swim for shore. There they find the two Iranians waiting for them, but their attempts at returning to Michigan are thwarted by heavy Iranian patrol boat activity. When agents of Iran's secret police, VEVAK, appear, escape seems all but impossible.
When Mitchell and his men find themselves surrounded by Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp troops, they create a bold plan to escape by sea. It's a desperate gamble, but it's the only way to get proof of the Iranian plot to the U.S. . . . and prevent a devastating new war.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I borrowed this for my 15 year old son who loves it and has re-read it several times. To stay hep with the young generation I read it too. It's a cartoon like thriller about SEAL special operations forces and an Iranian nuclear bomb and the exfiltration of an Iranian spy to a US submarine lurking in the Persian gulf. So long as the story sticks to the action on the ground with the commandos it's an engaging adventure story, with plausible action scenes and careful descriptions of different kinds of weapons and tactics. And when I say plausible, I don't mean to suggest that 5 SEAL commandos would likely be able to kill 35 Iranians in a 3 day rampage through the backroads of the Iranian coast, but rather that the descriptions feel like fighting and are possible to imagine. The plausibility is of a movie sort and I was willing to surrender to the artist's vision. In contrast, the dialogue and plausibility of the Presidential level and diplomatic discussions is much lower - laughable really. The whole thing is an awkward mess, but perfectly acceptable as a diverting adventure and a way to bond with your teenager.
