Synopsis
Tensions between Siberia and Moscow are running high, but the sudden disappearance of leading top-tier Siberian politicians and oil executives sparks open outrage in the vast lands east of the Ural. Terrified that Siberia will sever their ties and deprive Russia of its most important oil source, Moscow turns to a new supplier in the South Atlantic: the Falkland Islands. In an undercover mission, they persuade Argentina to invade the islands again. In return for oil rights, Moscow's hunter-killer submarine, Viper 157, will take out the British aircraft carrier arriving to recapture the islands, leaving Argentina free to claim the 'malvinas.' The United States are furious at this act of international piracy - and the fact that their largest oil giant owns the very same oil rights. Under the stern eye of Admiral Morgan, the navy SEALs bring in the legendary Commander Rick Hunter. Their mission is to hammer Argentina's military and free the Falklands. For the fabled Hunter, the assignment has struck close to home. His English brother-in-law and an SAS special forces team are trapped on East Falkland, on the run from an Argentine shoot-to-kill man-hunt, out of contact...

Customer Reviews

Cliches and stereotypes abound
Previous books have worked well but like other reviewers almost stopped reading.
The Britsih are stiff upper lip fools,The Argetinians great tactically.The Russions are there just for fun and the Americans are clever and smart and can solve all problems with a little Special Force.
The book gets so many views wrong....
The Falklands will never ever be forgotton by the British and in a modern World with the Internet.Newspapaers TV the original premise to could not occur.
The biggest problem is the fact the British in this situation would do what we always do and that is to use Cunning and deceptiion to regain the Falklands not some silly Naval mission.How about Cruise Missiles up the Presidents Residence

Falkland islanderes are written as if they do not mind if they are British or Argentinian.This is so wrong .

There is no way the Falklands could be handede over to Argentina in say 100 years at least and then only if the Islanders agree which they never will.They speak English are British and no UK Prime minister would be able to sign over and stay in their job.
I could go on but if you are from The UK this book makes no sense and is very disspoiniting.If you are from outside the UK and you view Britain via Cliches,stereotypes and Mary Poppins then you will enjoy this book.

So poor.
This is this first time I have done a review. I so wished I had never bought this book was so angrey when I finished it. Loved all the rest of his books.
The way he writes about Navy SEALs as some sort of Gods what a joke. Mr Robinson must be trying to get into Hollywood. The Britsh SAS/SBS are the best of all special forces from the best Armed forces in the world. It's the USA that calls for our troops. Avoid this book. GHOST FARCE WOULD BE A BETTER NAME.

Excellent job!!!
This is one of the best books I have ever read, right up with Nimitz class and Kilo class. The story involves a new setting to the Falklands, which was excellent, although they should have done it faster. Also, I think Admiral Arnold Morgan (the main character) needs to retire by then, as he has saved US too many times, it may get a little boring. I hope that the next series a new character, called James Ramshawe, can replace Arnold Morgan's place as the new saviour of the United States. The editing is good, but needs some corrections. For example Captain Gregor Vanislav, he wrote once Captain Yanislav. The ending is excellent, although it may get a little crappy that it ends with a question grunted by Arnold Morgan.
The start is a bit too boring and it sends the readers too far off course because it starts at Siberia and suddenly springs to the Falklands. Also, it mistook that, in fact the British naval force ain't that bad, not like what depicted in the book. The most exciting parts are the SEALs' missions, although I think the guards at Pebble Island Airfield weren't so crap.
The overall of this book is excellent, except the editing and the start. I dearly recommend this book for techno-thriller readers!
