About this listen
The oily and brackish waters of the Russian Northern Fleet submarine base part for the passage of the colossal special purpose Omega II-class submarine Belgorod, on a mission to hold the United States hostage. This gigantic submarine is armed with three Poseidon unmanned submersibles, each with a 10-megaton warhead. Her goal: placing them offshore in US ports in a nuclear-blackmail chess move.
In response, the United States dispatches the newest special operations attack submarine, the Virginia-class USS New Jersey, which lies in wait to follow Belgorod under the polar icecap. Because every submariner knows that what happens under the ice...never happened.
Legendary former admiral and current National Security Advisor Michael Pacino and his son Anthony, a combat-decorated veteran of undersea warfare, return in this epic novel of submarine-versus-submarine warfare.

Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

A terrorist cabal has acquired a scrapped Soviet sub from the Cold War - a technologically advanced failure still able to outrun any torpedo or enemy vessel and strike at will. With a nuclear payload, it will enable the terrorists to fire directly on Israel - and throw the world into chaos. All that remains is to modernize the sub with the latest technology. Only one man can infiltrate the group, take the helm, and stop a holocaust - a man who has already stared down death, and is ready to do battle once more....

Narrator please stop trying to voice the female characters. Story was good but rushed. A lot happening to the characters & side stories that really weren't necessary. However I'm a big fan of the author. Look forward to the next book.

Brilliant submarine thriller
Well written and produced. A vary suspenseful seasoning novel fitted against the ruthless Russian navy and FSB.

The submarine parts were good, everything else was a little cringy.
So the actual submarining stuff was pretty good. It’s fun to listen to. This isn’t War and Peace and I know there’s a lot of artistic liberties taken, but DiMercurio has been compared to Clancy by Publisher’s Weekly. Let’s just say he has a long way to go before he can fill those shoes.
Just about everything else about this book and the previous book in the series is really awkward and cringey and poorly written imo.
The narrator is bleh, I don’t think his squeaky impersonation of female characters particularly the Russian ones is really needed, it’s quite off putting imo. A good comparison is how with HBO’s Chernobyl, the production team decided against using stereotypical Russian accents spoken by the actors because they felt it would have lessened the gravity of the situation. Same thing applies here - a man impersonating a squeaky voiced woman in a wartime scenario is more funny and annoying than anything. It really detracts from the audio book.
I don’t get where the explicit sex scenes or the descriptions of the female characters and how voluptuous they are really fit into things as well. This is the third book of the author’s that I’ve listened to and it’s a reoccurring theme in the author’s writing. I don’t know if this is supposed to be a military thriller story or an amateur smut novel. It’s made all the more awkward by the narrator reciting the scenes. It feels like those parts were written by a horny teenager.
The character growth and development is not very good, without spoiling it too much there are a handful of characters from the previous book that don’t make it to the conclusion in this one, and honestly, I could care less that they died. They were that shallow and unmemorable.
There’s also a pretty glaring plot hole mid way through the book that isn’t really explained. The story itself just feels very juvenile and not well vetted or written or evaluated before it was published. Like, there are things that happen because “Aha!” and that the good guys always win, the writing for that part feels very weak and half baked.
The whole nickname/callsign thing for the characters is really weird, it reads like they desperately wanted to be fighter pilots instead of submariners.
Overall, it’s a fun listen, but all around poorly written with shallow, forgettable characters, a shoddy story and some really awkward and juvenile moments.

irritating reader voice
good grief, the readers attempts at a female voice are hilarious!
unfortunately it's not supposed to be a comedy
