Outstandingly well crafted story!
Published by Jim Pine , 2 years ago
Chasing a submarine that may or may not exist! Characters are very well developed. Felt strongly drawn to the hero. Smart, thoughtful, attractive. Mature love episodes. Great cat and mouse military story.
An Outstanding, Terrific, Accurate, Gripping Read

I'll admit it - I've become "hooked" on P.J. Deutermann. This is one of his best. Could have been written after 9/11, but was actually done some years before. Authentic dialog, flesh-and-blood characters, accurate naval detail, highly enjoyable.
Gritty and Real

I've spent a lot of time in the "tin can navy" and can tell you that Deutermann knows his stuff. His ability to describe the machinations of Navy polictics is unparalleled. I cannot recommend his books too highly.
A thrilling & exciting novel!

Scorpion in the Sea was a very good novel. It tells of Captain Mike Montgomery and his ship the U.S.S. Goldsborough sent out to investigate a possible Russian submarine in the Mayport opareas. I don't want to give too much away in case you haven't read the novel, but I thought it was very good. Before reading this novel, I also read P.T. Deutermann's Train Man, which was also very good.
Great concept, excellent detail.

This book explores the Navy's difficulty in locating and engaging a diesel-electric submarine in shallow water. It's very well written, moves quickly and is enjoyable from end to end.
A superb techno-military suspense novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is one of the finest novels of the military techno-thriller genre that I have read. It is creative, uses a refreshingly different setting, and interesting characters. A great read.
