About this audiobook
The most highly efficient and lethal underwater ship ever built, H.M.S. Unseen, vanishes into the depths while on a training mission, baffling British and American military intelligence including wily National Security Adviser Admiral Arnold Morgan.
One year later, the Concorde, the world's safest and most secure domestic plane, disappears without a trace over the North Atlantic. Days later the brand new Starstriker jet vanishes. Both appear to be random inexplicable accidents until Air Force Three, carrying the vice-president of the United States, is blown from the sky.
Morgan devises a chilling theory. Not only is Unseen still out there, but it's been modified to become the most dangerous anti-aircraft weapon at sea. And the admiral is convinced that only one man could have masterminded it: The world's most cunning'and reportedly dead'terrorist spy, Iraq's Commander Benjamin Adnam. But what Morgan doesn't know is that the fanatically religious military terrorist has a chilling agenda of his own'a plan that will bring these two intense warriors face to face. . . and only one will come out alive.
Performed by David McCallum on four cassettes.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Probably best to suspend your critical faculties and just enjoy the ride in Patrick Robinson's books. it requires of the reader a certain understanding of maritime terms and world navigation. The plot proves, just as did the 60s movie, "The Mouse that Roared", that the best thing to do is to go to war with the US. Then, they'll make up nicely. Cdr Ben Adnan does exactly that in this submarine spy thriller. The plot is a little bit light on the characters, except Adnan. Could it happen? Maybe.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5To enjoy this book you really need to suspend your critical thinking ability and take it as it is, else you will find yourself wondering why on earth the characters don't do this, or do that.However, looking past such flaws, it is an interesting and thrilling read that technology wise is within the realm of possibility even if the plot line was a little fanciful. All in all an enjoyable and sturdy addition to the Patrick Robinson Admiral Morgan series.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A fairly generic story with hopelessly black and white characters (Americans good, all Muslims bad). The final outcome was disappointing and seemed to require almost no input from the main characters - who knew what was happening the whole time but were powerless to do anything about it.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5great story...until the hollywood and somewhat unrealistic final section where the rogue comes ashore to see his ex-lover. COME ON! why does a good war dit always have to be ruined by a love interest? and if so, make it something a little more likely - stolen sub sits itself of a wesrtern power while the commander goes ashore, breaks into a house and has a discussion with a woman since married to his nemeisis???
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I read this story of the seizing of a British submarine whilst in Canada, which was just taking delivery of similar British submarines, adding to the interest. Probably best to suspend your critical faculties and just enjoy the ride in Patrick Robinson's books
