Gripping Submarine Fiction, November 1, 2005 (J. DiMarco "Professional Skeptic"
The last time a submarine story this bold was published, Tom Clancy, not a USN Captain, offered what would become a best seller based on startling, factual precedent. Although he disclaims a similar undergirding, "Mission Complete"'s author made this reader wonder if a related plot had been exposed after glasnost, when the M.A.D. nuclear doctrine seemed moot.
Capt. Wigley delivers an amazing tale, injected with unusually harsh realism. Be warned, the book contains a few, minor editing errors and details lavish enough for military watch standers. The story is fast-paced, however, and it was difficult to put the book down before its conclusion.
