Book Overview

On a calm night off the Florida coast, a fishing boat vanishes without a trace. Something deadly is hiding in U.S. waters, and the Navy brass would rather bury the truth than face it. It's Montgomery's war now. Brash and unconventional, Mike Montgomery is hardly regulation Navy. At his side, Diane Martinson, the Chief of Staff's wife-smart, tough...and his lover. Under his command, the USS Goldsborough -a WWII-era destroyer thundering toward a showdown of water and fire. With the arrival of P.T. Deutermann-retired Navy captain, former arms control negotiator within the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and ex-commander of at destroyer squadron-today's naval thriller just climbed to a whole new level.

Outstandingly well crafted story!

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

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 9, 2005

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

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 10, 2004

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!

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 9, 2002

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.

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 23, 2002

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.
