Silent Warriors

It's very interesting to read this first Henrick book and see where this prolific writer started. This novel is filled w/ passion. Henrick displays a vivid imagination, and one can sense the developing power of his story telling powers. This is a must read for those who enjoyed HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER. Though not as technical as Clancy, Henrick has one up on the master in sheer story telling ability. Read this one, then delve into the rest of his work. You won't be disappointed.

As an avid reader of sea based adventure stories, I've read my fair share of Richard Henrick books, enjoying each one of them. Thus it was interesting to read this first book, that shows all the passion and incredible story telling of a promising writer to come. The characters in this story are well thought out and filled with motivation. The story moves with the speed of a runaway freight train, and one can just pick out the creative foundations of the author who would go on to write such classics as CRIMSON TIDE and his latest(and my very favorite)--NIGHTWATCH.

This was my favorite book of all time. It was action-packed and exciting. Richard included the perfect amount of detail, not too much and not too little. He wrote a wonderful story about a Russian first-strike on the United States. GET THIS BOOK!!!!!
