It’s the same argument used
by critics of the four Gospels: Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John. Why four gospels,
and why are they so different . . . and yet so similar? Because the author’s were writing to
different people groups, and were presenting different aspects of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
There have been rumblings
that “Dee Henderson is slipping; her writing has changed! This isn’t ANYTHING like her O’Malley
series!”
Well, guess what . . . this
isn’t the next installment of the O’Malley series. And I’m here to let you know . . . Dee
Henderson IS NOT SLIPPING! The romantic
suspense is still there, stronger than ever but better; because of its
subtlety. And the “learning curve” that
Dee Henderson had to work through in order to write UNDETECTED is not something
for the faint of heart.
From page one, the book had
me hooked. I’m writing this review on
the strength of the first 100 pages, because I want to be able to finish the
book without worrying about a review deadline . . . it’s just that good!!!
Commander Mark Bishop is in
charge of the Gold Crew on board the ballistic missile submarine USS Nevada.
He is one of a handful of picked men, highly trained for a burden of
command like few others jobs in the military:
keeping the crew of the Nevada trained and alert during ninety-day
submerged patrols, and being prepared to launch nuclear weapons upon
presidential authority. It makes for a
long day, and a stressful . . . and lonely . . . life. Which is why Mark wants someone to come home
to.
Gina Gray, aka “Gina The
Genius,” would love to be married. An
unexpected breakup, though, has her focusing her attention on what she does
best. Gina has had more breakthroughs in
ocean science research than anyone twice her age. She’s on the cusp of yet another one . . .
and if she’s right, submarine warfare is about to enter a new and dangerous
chapter.

and romantic intrigue
