Reviews"A brilliantly conceived and breathlessly executed thriller." Kirkus Reviews "Patrick Robinson's best book yet. HMS Unseen, the third volume of his brilliant naval series is a dazzling, page-turning yarn that establishes its author as a master craftsman of the techno-thriller. No one does it better - not even Tom Clancy. Highly recommended." Carol D'Este, author of Patton: A Genius for War "Fast, sharply-focussed, engine-driven action." Express "Watch out for Robinson. He is in the same league as Clancy." Birmingham Post
