Helpful Score: 1

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 dont 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. The United States secretly sends a 16 man U.S. Navy Seal Team to sabotage the Argentines take over.
It was obvious to me from the colloquialisms used throughout the novel that the author was not an American. While there was some character development, the action scenes were both brief and shallow. Overall, this book did NOT hold my rapt attention.
