U.S. stealth technology is stolen by the Chinese and used against a US warship killing thousands of naval personnel and almost starting WWIII. The race is on to find this invisible "Goliath" before further atrocities are committed. Unfortunately there really arent' any characters that are likeable. They are all arrogant geniuses with know it all personalities.

This would have been much more enjoyable if it didn't get bogged down in naval and technical speak. The storyline was actually lost to all the scientific babble (yes that is a technical term). I've read other books by this author which were much better. This was a huge disappointment.

Steve Alton's books are pretty much the same in concept, and if you liked any earlier ones you wil enjoy this one, too.

Non-stop excitement. One of those books I couldn't put down. If you enjoy Steve Alten and underwater adventure, this is a book for you.

Based on a large submarine that explores mysterious ship sinkings in the ocean waters. The ocean is full of creatures of nature and man made that make you wonder what is going on down there. Nations all over the world wonder too as the scientists search for answers. Lots of science and subamrine research facts to keep you interested too.
