Kilo Class audiobook

This was my first Patrick Robinson book and I wasn't sure I'd like it because it had to do with submarines and other things I don't normally read about. Oh was I wrong - this book had me hooked from the beginning! Robinson takes you through the story and thankfully explains the workings of our Navy's nuclear submarines (which fascinated me) and introduces everyone to the hard-nosed Admiral Arnold Morgan (my new favorite man). I could not put this book down and am actually going to read it again in the future. I never thought I'd be entranced and enthralled to learn about submarines, rescue missions and other aspects of the Navy (don't want to spoil the book here). I absolutely LOVE this book!

I enjoyed this book. Well developed characters with good back story on a few. Good technical descriptions without being too dense in that regard.

Kilo Class is the second in a series of military fiction books centered around an almost stereotypically profane, gruff Admiral Arnold Morgan. He also happens to be a tactical genius in naval matters, or at least he knows where several naval geniuses live and work. There are occasional lapses in military terminology here and there (I particularly hate the use of clips for magazines), but the story holds together well. I was a little surprised at the decision late in the book where the US sub commander allows the Chinese sub to do its business before taking care of his own orders, but I guess that scenario could play out that way.

The second in the series of realistic fictional submarine stories. This one was better constructed than the first from a story standpoint. More complex plot construction, and an intricate weaving of story perspectives. It gained momentum as it went along and reached a natural progression. Looking forward to continuing the story, hopefully with a few more appearances from our favorite couple of characters from the first book.

I find this authors writing very interesting. He has had to do a lot of research to write with this detail. Robinson reminds me of reading a Clancy novel. In Kilo Class he explores the current event of the Chinese wanting to control Taiwan and the straits around I­t­. Very good sequel to Nimitz class

At first, I was going to rate it lower; although I’m the story moves well throughout, its just a hard premise to believe. But after hearing the Afterward from Admiral Woodward I could see it happening. Great book.

These books with Admiral Morgan by Patrick Robinson are my favorite books of all time. I love the characters, the suspense, and the adversary! The characters are well developed, and the action doesn't stop. My fave!

Absolutly superb submarine thriller! Close to the Hunt for Red October (all time best in my books), definte recommendation for submarine fans

Pretty good, got a little lazy with the diversion to the sailing trip.Otherwise well done, good technical detail....

ExcellentEngaging plot and characters, great action. Couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Books like his make one wonder if any of these things really do happen. If the US could get away with ensuring no one gets access to Russian subs, would we?

This book is a brilliant techno thriller. It led me to read the entire series searching for the same. Unfortunately I never found it.

An exciting military-political action novel the puts the US, China and Russia head-to-head and on the verge of WWIII.

Good Naval thrillerA good, well written Naval thriller. Entertaining and well thought out. The author puts you in the center of the action.

Gripping. Interesting submarine facts.

Insight drives this boat.Thoughtfulness to current world affairs makes this work. Plenty of action keeps you turning the pages. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

A nice page-turner. Arnold Morgan is quite the character yet again in his hard-nose approach to Russian military maneuvers and dealing with the increasing threat poised by China. This story includes ice adventures under the North Pole and explosive actions near the South Pole; special military agents working undercover in Russia to destroy submarines being sold to China, and tracking the efforts of Taiwan to develop their own nuclear capabilities. While the story is fictional, Robinson has research naval realities very intently, and presents a story of extreme plausibility, which made the read that much more exciting. I definitely will want to read other Robinson books in his naval series adventures!

* The follow-on to Patrick Robinson's Nimitz Class, this book is not for everyone as it requires of the reader a certain understanding of maritime terms and world navigation. That said, Kilo-Class will take you on a head-spinning international tour with an explosive climax.* Follow the Morgan series into #3, H.M.S. Unseen
