"I was in Rota, Spain serving in the Navy at the time Scorpion was lost. The events detailed in the book are the best and most authentic I've ever read. The Naval community held much information back from the public during the 60's concerning the Soviets. This is just one example of many." RM Sparks
"For anyone who has served in the surface Navy this book is a must read especially if you consider yourself a Cold War Warrior. Little did we know how close knit the submarine surface was and still is. A series of concatenous events form the basis for the plot of what could well be a spy novel. There is evidence of meticulous research over a period of twenty-five years that lead to a conclusion that challenges the thinking mind. Much of the story is incredulous and one is constantly challenged as to the veracity of the events. How could so many navy personnel in high places carry out such a plan as described by the author without leaving an audit trail? Are the conclusions valid based upon the research plausible or do they just fall into place for a gigantic HOAX? See for yourself but don't be guiled by the impeccable detail." Phylipp Dilloway
"This story is very personal for me. I have followed all the stories regarding the USS Scorpion. There have been many conspiracy theories. Although I do not think we will ever get the real story, I feel after reading this book amongst many written on the subject that this one comes the closest to what I believe happened to my Uncle Ron as well as the other 98 men aboard this submarine. Whether you are personally interested in what became of this sub or if you simply have an interest in the history of US war this book is a fascinating page turning from beginning to end. I greatly appreciate the author of this book taking the time to do all the research to write this spectacular view of what happened that fateful day out at sea." Laurie
