Riveting July 18, 2008 Great, easy and riveting read with brilliant premise. Black Sea Affair draws attention to the potentially dangerous game of maritime terrorism, something that we apparently aren't all that equipped to deal with. Couldn't put the book down.
Fabulous Read. Bonechilling Scenario! July 6, 2008 Don Brown's Black Sea Affair is a thrilling novel about a hydrogen bomb being built in the bowels of an ocean-going freighter loosed on the high seas. Can the U.S. Navy find it, track it, and stop it in the nick of time? Bonechilling, frightening, and highly entertaining!
Fascinating Expose on Maritime Terrorism! July 3, 2008 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Did you realize that the ports of the United States are virtually defenseless against some foreign ship sailing into port with a nuclear bomb in it's belly? Did you realize that the Navy and Coast Guard have virtually no way to stop it? I didn't either, until I read Don Brown's exhilarating novel Black Sea Affair. This novel exposes the bonechilling scenarios of rogue freighters at loose on the high sea with nuclear weapons being constructed on the inside. In the novel, a rogue Russian Freighter, financed by terrorists, is on the high seas with a hydrogen bomb in it's belly. Where will it wind up? Couldn't put this novel down!
Action, Action and More Action! June 24, 2008 Don Brown's Black Sea Affair is action, action and more action! From the start of the book to the end of it 320 pages later, Brown kept me up, kept me twisting and kept me unable to sleep because I couldn't put the darn book down. Great read!
In The Tradition of Clancy, Baldacci June 21, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Don Brown's Black Sea Affair gives him a breakout novel in the mold of Clancy or Baldacci. I love naval fiction, and this was perhaps the most tension-filled and action packed novel that I have ever read. Sub skipper Pete Miranda is a strong, yet complex hero in the tradition of Jack Ryan who voluntarily puts his life and his men on the line to try and avoid nuclear war. A great read!
