THE SHARK MUTINY

Every book George Guidall reads is a pleasure; THE SHARK MUTINY is yet another example of his inimitable talents. Robinson, known for his meticulous naval thrillers, weaves a marvelous tale, focusing on actions by China and Iran to sabotage oil shipments from the Middle East. THE SHARK MUTINY, a U.S. submarine commanded by an eccentric, perhaps crazy, captain, is summoned to the region, and the captain's decisions cause a mutiny during a Navy SEAL mission. Guidall is perfect. His timing is impeccable, and he supplies a distinct personality to every character, from the Texas tanker captain to the delusional commander to China's military leaders. Guidall's memorable rendition of a Buddy Holly song would make even the most die-hard rock fan smile. D.J.S.
