“Clever…. Rivals The Hunt for Red October in thrills.”
—
“Thriller fiction at its best — a tale based on a premise too horrible to contemplate but too plausible to ignore…. Riveting.”
—
“The rich detail here is impeccable, every bit the equal of Clancy’s…. Readers will be engaged…by [this] cautionary tale.”

“Nimitz Class is that rare combination of military thriller and tactical treatise. While capturing the excitement of naval operations, it also raises critical issues about the future of naval forces, terrorism, and the implications of the spread of weapons of mass destruction. I strongly suggest that all military professionals read this book, not only for the issues it confronts, but for the sheer enjoyment of a great book.”
— William J. Crowe, Jr., Former U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain
“The reader is almost a part of the adventure, sitting at the right hand of those masterminding operation. Nimitz Class brought back some real life experiences for me.”
— J. Daniel Howard, Former Under Secretary of the Navy
“A thundering good naval yarn…An enjoyable read, Nimitz Class has a more serious purpose, to draw attention to the worldwide peacekeeping role being carried out by the U.S. Navy. We must hope that a ‘Nimitz- Class’ type of incident, which every professional sailor will recognize as extreme but plausible, would not shake American resolve.”
— Captain Richard Sharpe, editor,
