review 1: Collapse Depth by Todd Tucker is fairly good. It appears to be an accurate telling of nuclear submarine life and that I enjoyed. The plot is okay; it could have been a lot better. Tucker should have kept from revealing the saboteur so early. Even the red herring was disclosed to the reader. So we are left with how was the saboteur going to do it and when? The suspense was a little slow, but the climax was excellent. I really liked how Tucker pulled off the ending, very ingenious. Someone needs to go through and edit this novel because it has multiple typos, substituted words (Nav was referred to as Navy once), etc. A simple read-through would discover most of them. Since there are so many acronyms, the typos would occasionally throw me off.If you like submarine no... morevels, I still recommend it.
review 2: So, Todd is a good friend and a great writer. He is my inspiration and has written a number of non-fictions and 1 other fiction. (I do have other inspirations as a writer - my friend Bryan Miller, another author, and Mike Gayle - I don't know him personally(!!) - but whom I model my writing from) - anyway, back to Todd! His first fiction, Over and Under is something to read too- I loved it, but Collapse Depth is an action thriller with great characters and a great plot. I had no knowledge of the naval/submarine world until I read this book. Now I can tell you what a fathom is and how smart and brave you must have to be to go on a submarine mission -- even when there isn't a catastrophe! This is what I love about reading and taking risks on books that you might shy away from because they aren't your preferred genre -- you learn new things! Who knew what life was really like on a submarine? Todd tells the story so that all audiences can understand, and you don't have to have previous knowledge - you will get the education without being a submarine expert yourself, and you will enjoy it along the way. less
