Fun, Fast Read

This was th first book by Bell that I have read and I thought it was great. The story moves fast and has a great plot with a couple great twists and real life characters intermixed. A rogue group of Fidel loyalists overthrow the Cuban government and threaten to destroy the US with a stolen stealth sub armed with 40 nuclear warheads. Hawke is called upon by the US to find out who has the missing sub (the only implausible thing, why the US wouldn't have their own resources and super spies to do the job themselves), but he is not a super hero and relies on others to help him, as well, which I like because I find these one man armies wiping out forces of hundreds even more implausible. I lok forward to the next adventure.

Great Read

I really liked this book, so far it's my #1 favorite. I love adventure and this book had plenty including suspense, action and a little romance. It was well rounded and entertaining. I've bought and all of Ted Bell's books because of this book but this is still my favorite.

I have a man-crush on Alex Hawke

I want to be Alex Hawke. Boats, planes, gadgets, butlers I love it. this guy kicks commie butt. I can't wait to read the next in the series. Absolutely an ideal book for a vacation read.

While sailing in the Caribbean, young Alex Hawke witnesses an act of unspeakable horror as modern-day pirates brutally murder his parents. It is a tragedy that will haunt him forever, and shape his destiny....

As a direct descendant of a legendary English privateer, Lord Alexander Hawke is skilled in the ways of sea combat -- and one of England's most decorated naval heroes. Now, Hawke returns to the Caribbean on a secret mission for the American government. A highly experimental stealth submarine is missing. She carries forty nuclear warheads, and is believed to be in the hands of an unstable government just ninety miles from the American mainland. In a race against time, Hawke must locate the sub before a strike can be launched against the U.S. -- and, after a lifetime of nightmares, finally avenge himself upon the men who slaughtered his family....

Featuring electrifying action, international intrigue, and a hero worthy of the finest adventure fiction, Hawke heralds the exciting debut of a bold new talent.
