Incredible -- that it was published
Master Chief Submarines (who also gave this book but one star) hits the nail on the head -- or the book where it hurts. It is hard to imagine that any editor would allow this pseudo historical piece be published without more thorough and tighter editing. The direct quotations as envisioned in the Hagberg's obviously talented ability for fictional thrillers are almost a travesty.As a former naval person, also in submarines, I find it incredible that the sole naval technical editing was apparently provided only by the Russian sub-author -- who, unfortunately, was not allowed a very heavy hand in this very necessary process to produce a credible text. The almost slang-like and often needless analyses of the USSR government, military and naval processes, economic and sociological problems, ad infinitum, all but insult one's intelligence and add neither to the narrative nor to the knowledge of the reader, especially given pathetically meagre bibliography and its caliber (again -- see Master Chief's scathing denunciation of using Wikipedia so freely).I am so sorry to see this fascinating event so poorly presented. I do hope that David Hagberg returns to adding to his many fictional techno-thrillers and Boris Gindin can find a truly competent co-author to try this again!
