– Selv om Patrick Robinson er relativt ukjent i Norge, er mannen en forfatter man absolutt burde stifte bekjentskap med. Handlingen i Kilo Class spinnes rundt at Kina bestiller ubåter i 10 kilos klassen, utviklet i Sovjet, både dødelige og stillegående. Pentagon vurderer at dersom Kina får tilgangen til dette våpenet, vil USA miste kontrollen over Taiwan-stredet, derfor beordrer Det Hvite Hus om at leveransen må stoppes for enhver pris. Handlingen er annerledes fra noe man har lest tidligere, med en spenning som hele tiden er på topp. Personene blir engasjerende beskrevet, med beskrivelser som er teknisk briljante og interessante. Har man ikke lest bøker av Robinson tidligere, er dette boken man burde begynne med. Anbefales for den som elsker tekniske og spennende thrillere!

SILENT. UNDETECTABLE. READY TO LAUNCH.
The Russian-built Kilo-Class submarine is the only true enemy of the American Carrier Battle Groups -- and it is up for sale.
Having ordered ten, China primes its first three, ready to take control of the Taiwan Strait.
Desperate to safeguard its ally on China's doorstep and stop the arrival of the Kilo-Class subs, America launches itself into a secret war, led by the President's National Security Advisor, Admiral Arnold Morgan.
A battle over peace, power and money ensues, played out in the icy depths of the world's oceans and the hinterland of Russia's rivers and lakes.
It soon becomes clear that there can only be one victor ...
