This is an okay book with a straight forward sequence of events written in a fast paced manner. It's not nearly as engrossing as the Jack Ryan series but for those of you that are interested in submarines and the lives of their sailors, this should be an excellent choice for you.

China has invaded the oil-rich Spratly Islands. The American response has been swift--and deadly. And the Third World War has begun... Captain Bartholomew Mackey is the skipper of the U.S.S. Cheyenne, a nuclear submarine that has been dispatched to the Spratlys to protect a carrier group. But in a few moments, the Cheyenne's mission--and the world-- will change, as a tense situation explodes into a full-scale war of nightmarish proportions.
SSN is a compelling blend of military fact and fiction--a submarine combat thriller complete with stirring plots and characters, perfectly accurate details, and the chilling knowledge that it really could happen...
