“A rarity…. The book reeks with authenticity.”
—Houston Chronicle
“The best military thriller since The Hunt for Red October…. Robinson has crafted a fast-paced, chilling, yet believable tale, peppered with unforgettable characters.”
—San Francisco Examiner
“A perfect nautical thriller: suspenseful, exciting, technically accurate, and plausible enough to be unnerving. For sailors and non-sailors alike, it is the can’t-put-down geomilitary yarn for this summer’s reading.”
—Dallas Morning News
“Clever…. Rivals The Hunt for Red October in thrills.”
—Sunday Denver Post
“Thriller fiction at its best—a tale based on a premise too horrible to contemplate but too plausible to ignore…. Riveting.”
—New London Day
“The rich detail here is impeccable, every bit the equal of Clancy’s…. Readers will be engaged…by [t]his cautionary tale.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A thundering good naval yarn…an enjoyable read. Nimitz Class has a more serious purpose, to draw attention to the worldwide peace keeping role being carried out by the U.S. Navy. We must hope that a ‘Nimitz Class’ type of incident, which every professional sailor will recognize as extreme but plausible, would not shake American resolve.”
—Captain Richard Sharpe, Editor,
Jane’s Fighting Ships
“The reader is almost a part of the adventure, sitting at the right hand of those masterminding the operation. Nimitz Class brought back some real-life experiences for me.”
—J. Daniel Howard,
former undersecretary of the Navy
“Nimitz Class is that rare combination of military thriller and tactical treatise. While capturing the excitement of naval operations, it also raises critical issues about the future of naval forces, terrorism, and the implications of the spread of weapons of mass destruction. I strongly suggest that all military professionals read this book, not only for the issues it confronts, but for the sheer enjoyment of a great book.”
—William J. Crowe Jr.,
former U.S. ambassador to Great Britain
