I have read other novels by Patrick Robinson, so I looked forward to reading Ghost Force. The novel was filled with unbelievable action, and I don’t mean that in a good way. In the book, Argentina wrests control of the Falkland Islands from the British and decimates (with secret help from the Soviets) a naval task force sent to relieve the besieged islands.

I highly recommend this book. Excellent author.
