About This Audiobook

Deep within the Saudi royal family, Crown Prince Mohammed orchestrates a devastating conspiracy to destroy his own kingdom's oil infrastructure and topple the monarchy he views as corrupt and wasteful. Enlisting French naval forces and their lethal Hunter-Killer submarines, Mohammed sets in motion attacks on massive oil installations throughout the Persian Gulf and Red Sea. As global oil markets spiral into chaos and the desert kingdom burns, retired Admiral Arnold Morgan and Lt. Commander Jimmy Ramshawe find themselves pulled back into action when they discover the plot involves Morgan's longtime nemesis, the elusive terrorist General Ravi Rashood.

Simon Vance delivers a masterful performance that captures the international scope and military precision of Robinson's naval thriller. His crisp British accent lends authentic gravitas to the high-stakes geopolitical maneuvering, while his ability to differentiate between American military officials, French operatives, and Middle Eastern conspirators keeps the complex cast of characters distinct and engaging. Vance maintains excellent pacing throughout the submarine warfare sequences and political intrigue, allowing listeners to absorb both technical military details and rapid-fire plot developments. His measured delivery enhances the tension as multiple forces converge in this explosive tale of betrayal and naval combat.
