Torpedo – A Surface Warfare Thriller
Author: Jeff Edwards
Publisher: iUniverse
Reviewer: Bill McDonald – President of the MWSA
I have never been as turned on by an
action book of any kind, as I was with “Torpedo” by Jeff Edwards. This is a real page burner that will grab you by the throat as you go from one situation to another with the naval crews portrayed in the novel. This book takes us into
today’s world of terrorists. It leaves you feeling that all of this could possibly actually happen today, or tomorrow, in some part of the world.
This is the
best naval action novel that I have ever
read and is perhaps, the best book of its genre of the last decade! This book screams out for a
movie version. Some day we may see this book’s
story portrayed on the movie screens of the world. It is that kind of action story.
This book
deals with illegal arms deals, biological attacks on an embassy in Washington D.C. and an enemy within our own NATO family of nations. We are given a look at naval warfare tactics in action by an author who seems to be an expert at educating us, the readers, as we are completely drawn into the story line. It is a must read!
