Summary

Patrick Robinson burst on the scene with his gripping naval thriller, The New York Times best-selling Nimitz Class, then did it again with Kilo Class. His explosive HMS Unseen portrays the world in crisis as a dangerous terrorist pits nation against nation to promote his own chilling agenda.

While on a training mission, the British submarine HMS Unseen mysteriously disappears. A year later three planes are shot from the sky - one of them carrying the Vice President of the United States. As wily US Security Advisor Arnold Morgan scrambles to prevent international turmoil, he suspects the lost sub has been modified to carry antiaircraft weapons. Morgan knows only one person who could mastermind this scheme - an Iraqi terrorist believed to be dead.

Acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic, Patrick Robinson blows listeners out of the water with his adrenaline-charged tales. Veteran narrator George Guidall will keep you gasping for breath as the plot races from the shocking opening to the stunning finish.

A little let down

I was looking forward to this book. However I found that too much narrative was given over to local area geography. It was rather like a ‘tour guide ‘. The action was good and the knowledge of submarines was great. Main characters stacked up but I was disappointed that the narrator made the soldier from the East End if London sound Scottish and the main female character, Laura, speak like Mrs Doubtfire
Still enjoyable overall

Okay start. Good middle. Rubbish end.

Ultimately disappointing. Don’t expect too much. Lost potential. Could’ve done better. It’s certainly no Tom Clancy.

a slow start but enjoyable

this was a bit slow to get going, but I could not put this down once The plot had developed. It was very believable and technically accurate. it had a surprising, but sad ending, which highlights the hypocrisy of the western nations. overall, this was a great storyline!

Gripping

Superb story, skillfully narrated by the ‘rock star of narrators, George Guidall. Not my usual genre, but loved this book and will now listen to others by this author.

Great story, but awful narration

The narration spoilt a splendid story from an author who produces some amazing novels. The accents and pronunciation were terrible for the most part… real shame

Great story brought to life

This is a great story brought to life in audio by George. Unfortunately, his accents and mispronunciations let him down, but, don't let that put you off, listen and enjoy. I just wish Nimitz class and kilo class were on here as they then tie the main protagonist down a lot better and the heroes are more lovable.
