Publisher's Weekly Review

A promising plot‘the leaders of the major countries, meeting on board the QE2, must be saved from terrorists‘is torpedoed by careless writing in Henrick's (Crimson Tide) latest submarine adventure. Brothers Thomas and Vince Kellogg are special agents, respectively, in the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and the Secret Service. When the participants of the G-7 summit, plus the premier of the People's Republic of China, are taken hostage on the high seas, the siblings find themselves in the midst of the ensuing carnage. Much too much exposition and way too many unlikely coincidences (e.g., the passengers include relatives of the crew) dull the reader's interest long before the ship leaves port. What's more, only a publicist could love Henrick's dull gush over the ocean liner and her luxuries: "There was a full Nautilus circuit, four StairMasters, three rowing machines, and four bicycles."

Kirkus Book Review

This military cliffhanger from seasoned pro Henrick (author of 16 previous thrillers) gets a remarkable amount of mileage from an unlikely conceit: The heads of the world's most powerful nations have gathered on board the Queen Elizabeth II for the latest session of the G-7 summits, and this time out the President of China is attending. Chinese hard-liners decide to scuttle their President's plan to seek a rapprochement with the West. A Chinese submarine stalks the QE II and, at the same time, an unrelated group of terrorists seize control of the ship. A nuclear war between China and the West seems suddenly likely. Two brothers, Thomas Kellogg, an ATF agent, and Vincent Kellogg, a Secret Service agent trapped on the QE II, take the lead in untangling the various conspiracies and heading off a war. Henrick's crisp pacing and rather infectious fascination with military technology go a long way toward overcoming wooden dialogue and generally unsurprising characters.
