Product Description
A bomb explodes in Boston's Logan Airport, and Admiral Arnold Morgan, the most trusted advisor to President Bedford, must move quickly to break the terrorist cell responsible for the bloodshed. The Hamas high command hatches a vicious plan to assassinate him once he exits the United States. Leading this attack is chief Hamas assassin General Ravi Rashood. Meanwhile, President Bedford, in a desperate attempt to protect the Admiral at all costs, summons the most advanced and dangerous Navy Seal team the United States has to offer. And so begins an exhilarating chase that goes beyond the borders of the United States, taking the reader on a terrifying journey through southern Ireland, London, and Scotland. Presented Unabridged on 12 CDs; narrated by Erik Steele.

Misunderstood phrases September 17, 2008

I was completely baffled after having read this book about how its purported on the inside cover that the President calls on this "SEAL TEAM" to cover Admiral Morgan. I am still waiting for a Team to show as Commander Rick Hunter, albeit an imposing and larger-than-life character: does no constitute a full Seal Team. When does the Team show up in the book, as I never saw it.
 This is a really sad closing chapter for the Patrick works July 30, 2008

When I first pick up a PR book, USS Sea Wolf, from an airport departure hall, I was captivated with his writting and that book kept me occupied on my outstation trip.
When I returned, I ordered the remaining of his books and finished all of them one after another.
I had been checking for this book print date and when it was available in Amazon, I order 1 immediate.
This closing chapter between the Admiral + General + NSA is such a flop.
PR strength in war plots in his previous writting were so good that it make this ending chapters such a drastic failure.
Starting from Airport + Prison + some remote Middle East hideout + a travelling around USA + UK + Ireland was so boring.
Did I even mentioned how "LUCKY" the general was to escape death while the HAMAS commander is so damn unprofessional.
The sending in of the a ex-SEAL commander in my opinion is just merely trying to add that few pages of text to an already weak story-line.
The ending where such the HAMAS commander was killed is really a joke seeing how careful he had been in the past series.
And I do not see any reason why the HAMAS commander has to resort to knife and gun to take out his arch enemy where in the past he has been using missile, explosives and whats-not.
This is a really sad closing chapter for the PR works.
 While not a climax... July 23, 2008

I read someone using the word "climax" in describing this book. I too would have been disappointed if that were my expectation.
I bought this one because I enjoyed all the others and I happilly gobbled up every word.
For the next one, Mr. Robinson, I want more submarine time. OK? Ships, too. Oh, and another femme fatal....
Big Disappointment July 22, 2008

This was a story that had a lot of potential, but turned out to be shallowly written. The bomb plot at Logan was a great start, but the development of the story went downhill from there.
I was totally disappointed with the performance of the Mossad in Damascus. They missed the obvious by not paying attention to details. They weren't sure that Ravi Rashood was with his wife when they returned to the house, but they just assumed that it was him. Huh? I thought that they were a great intelligence agency. It was obvious from the story that it wasn't him. Also, the team leader stated that they would watch for the return of Ravi and Shakira and trigger the bomb when they entered the house, but then another stated that they wouldn't be able to get away afterwards, So the leader said that was why they were going to put the bomb on a timer. How did he get there?
The author had a propensity for stating the obvious in many cases. And the characters, who were supposed to be "bigger than life" missed a lot of obvious clues. I was expecting Admiral Morgan to get killed in the story and it would have only been just based on the performance of the characters who were supposed to protect him. It was hard to connect to any of the characters in the story.
After reading Vince Flynn and Lee Child, this story was a real disappointment. It was my first Patrick Robinson book and it will be my last. I'm glad that I got this book from the library. I would have been really upset if I'd paid money to read it.

 A Terrific Read July 9, 2008

I have enjoyed all of Patrick Robinson's books with Admiral Morgan but I thought this was one of the best reads. The plot was OK (I would agree with some of the other reviewers that the story had some weaknesses) but I found I could not wait until I could get back to reading the book.
