review 1: It's the third novel in Robinson's series of military thrillers featuring commander Mack Bedford of Navy Seals. What distinguishes this book from dozens of other Navy Seals stories is the adversary: Somali pirates. It's a welcome change from the majority of modern military thrillers that have Al Qaeda or the Taliban as antagonists,Also interesting is the way antagonists are depicted. I'm not sure how intentional it was, but the author gives so much attention to the pirates and describes their daily lives and operations in such way, that it's difficult not to like them. In comparison, Navy Seals' actions seem to be presented in a little bit half-hearted way. For me, the book is definitely about the Somali pirates, not about the Seals.The novel is definitely worth reading/l... moreistening, especially if you fancy a change from typical modern warfare novels.
review 2: Robinson's action sequences and alot of the dialogue are just pure A-1 badass- Smokey and The Bandit badass, '76 Steel Curtain badass, Mel Gibson in Payback badass. That being said, the sequences where we are with the pirates instead of the SEALs are mind numbingly boring. Robinson is also cramming his political opinions and conspiracy bullshit down our throats the entire book but that is easily ignored.Alot of parts of this book make me want to give 5 stars here but the authors soapboxing and the boring who gives a shit moments with the pirates are forcing my hand here. less
