Pick Up Arctic Gambit: A Jerry Mitchell Novel Crafted By Larry Bond Digital Copy

Bond has a great balance of the military tech with a solid storyline and characters, He doesnt over do it with the “feeds and speeds” details that would add anotherorpages, Which is why I wish he had a few more like this, Another good book from Larry Bond Story well detailed and played out well, Russia is under control by a populist that has decided to restore Russia's former glory and his aggressive policies towards former Soviet republics scare more than the citizens in said states.
At the same time a US submarine disappears in the arctic, and the story can start,
A decent yarn involving cold war participants USA/U, S. S. R. The end could have been better,ofMy first Larry Bond, Enjoyed immensely, reminded me of old classic Tom Clancy I found this book to be very slow and tedious, and just plain boring.
It had no real story per say, no character development, and went on way too long, It started off strong but then dredged on and on and on until I found myself skimming through looking for sections that I actually would read a few pages before skimming again.
Ending picked up a bit, but too little too late, Well makes me want to read the other books in this series, Larry Bond is a great military suspense writer, His stories are well thought out and technically accurate, The personal relationships are a little unrealistic and the end result was never in doubt, Jerry Mitchell heads for Russian waters in Artic Gambit, the highstakes military thriller from New York Times bestselling author, Larry Bond

Jerry Mitchell, commodore of submarine Development Squadron Five, grieves when USS Toledo is sunk just outside of Russian territorial waters.
His best friend was its captain, But there's a larger game afoot: Russian engineers have modified a torpedo into a stealthy firststrike weapon that would allow their country to launch a nuclear decapitation strike on the USA.


The new Russian president has plans for Europe and is more than willing to use nuclear blackmail, or an actual attack, to keep the Americans from interfering.
To avoid a Russian war in Europe and a nuclear catastrophe at home, Mitchell must find a way to destroy the weaponor millions will face the consequences.
Overall, Arctic Gambit is a thriller that has a creative yet realistic premise which follows through with a taut ending,  Good depictions of underwater hightension situations make this one a solid pick for those who like the genre,  

Thank you to NetGalley, MacmillanTor, and Forge Books, and Larry Bonds for the advanced copy for review,

Please check out all my reviews: sitelink blog really interesting insight into underwater technology and warfare, but no interesting charachters A drop off from the previous books in my opinion primarily due

to the long framing of the plot that takes place during the first half of the book.
Considering that everything in the story is a reflection of our modern world his portraying every Democrat as a moderate that is also a military hawk is comical.
I am not a big fan of how he keeps old characters in the story and his attempt to make them important weakens the plot.
Thankfully he pulled out of the dive by getting back to what makes the Jerry Mitchell universe worth checking back into and that is the fantasy of seeing a modern day nuclear attack submarine in action.
This is my first Larry Bond book and I'm shallow enough to admit I picked it out because of the submarine on the front cover.
Arctic Gambit was fascinating, . . it was also at times too sub techy, but when Larry Bond lets the action rip it's a thrilling ride, Read this book if you need a nap, Or if you want a description of a submarine, but not for action, Maybepages of action. Also started a story about a sub being sunk and lives lost, but the reader never finds out how the country handles the tragedy.
Great read

I like to read submarine fiction, This book did not disappoint, Lots of action and a good story, Highly recommended A glorious end to the Jerry Mitchell series this book or at least the last pet of it goes back to the roots.
