This was a book with no feelings for the main characters. I think the title is overblown as a reflection of the story. Most of all I found the book plodding and seems to go on and on and on and on and on. A mediocre novel that uses Stephen Coonts' name to help sell it. The narrator/performer is annoying. I've heard worse but not if I can help it. I gave up and did not finish. This is my second "Deep Black" and for the rest of the series--forget it! ( )
