Silent Thunder

Great

This mom and son duo need to make a series of the relationship that grows between the scientist and the former sub captain. And, they need to reach their common goal of getting the villian(s) who killed his wife and friends, as well as her brother.

Wonderful read

This was an absolutely wonderful read. It was fast paced, had good action, a little romantic tension, and a very good story line. I loved it. They have a sequel to this book that I can't wait to get my hands on. I'm very glad my in-laws gave me this book to read.

Recommended Read

I really enjoyed reading this book. I was quickly drawn into the story and hated to put it down. Big fan of Iris Johansen's suspense novels and was eager to read one co-authored with her son; it was a seamless read. Look forward to how they will follow this story.

Enjoyed the collaboration between mother and son

Good read. Characters are believable, strong but sensitive and VERY capable.

Great Story

I have really enjoyed this book, I have loved all of Johansens books even the ones written with her son . This book gives a great story line and plot.

Loved it

I have read all of her suspense books and I really liked the different feel of this book. The detail surrounding the submarines and their creation and maintenance was fascinating. I appreciated her research to make it accurate, entertaining, and somewhat enlightening.

Fast Paced!

Kept my interest from start to finish. Flowed well for a co-authored novel. Wanted to read more. You will enjoy it!

Silent Thunder

Excellent read - I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for their next book.

Good Book - Good Story Line - Strong Characters

Iris Johansen is one of my favorite authors. I have read all of her book. I love her writting stye and her characters are always strong. The plot was very different. Although this was not one of my favorite it is still worth the read. I would recommend it.

Silent Thunder

Love the combo of mother and son as authors. Good story. Great read.

Silent Thunder

Different theme from her usual writing but was a very good book.

Entertaining

I found this book to very entertaining and a light read. It kept you on the edge of your seat wondering what was going to happen next. It was one of those books you just didn't want to put down but finish it from cover to cover.

Silent But Deadly

In this first thriller by both Iris and her son, Roy, the authors try to tag team an espionage/adventure story - with great success. Iris Johansen is best when she focuses on the fast paced excitement of her novels and this one showcases that talent to the extreme. Her dialogue is sometimes "common", but in the larger scheme of things, it all makes for a quick thrill. Just read the inide jacket to get the initial story plot, but look to spend several hours enjoying the action and adventure surrounding Hannah and Ivanov (?) as they try to uncover the truth behind her brother's death while on the SILENT THUNDER; a Russian submarine. Roy's knowledge of espionage gives a stronger background to Iris' thunderous plot speed. It is hard to ever be critical of Johansen's novels because I read them to be entertained, not necessarily to hear speldidly literary dialogue or sentence structure. She is a huge fav of mine and i have never read one I did not like. I look forward to reading their next tag team adventure, STORM CYCLE out this July. Give this one a try on the beach or a lazy summer day. Like James Bond, we enjoy the adventure, speed and silliness of the stories and not with the realism of the tale. Who cares about the truth; to be entertained is to be content.

I LOVED IT!

I loved this book and could not put it down. Although I admit I would have liked to see a little more romantic action between Hannah and Kirov, it left me hungering for more of them!! True Johansen fashion!

Not up to Iris Johansen Standards

This book was very disappointing. I usually can¿t put down one of Johansen¿s books but this had a completely different feel. I kept waiting for the normal suspense and intrigue and it never came.

HATE IT!!!!!

It was a boring read this is the first book that I've read by this author. Very disappointing. When I read the back of the book it sounded good. Highly dont recommend this book to anyone.

fun read

I thought somewhat of unrealistic, but enough action and story to make this a fun read. One could relate this to the world we have now, sadly enough, to pull this off, the writers maybe reaching a bit...

exciting thriller

It is her job as a marine architect to make sure the Russian nuclear sub Silent Thunder is clean so that it can be put on exhibit by the museum that purchased it once there are no booby traps or despicable items on board. Hannah Bryson works with her brother Connor on the scrub he finds the strange metal plate with weird symbols on it. She leaves the sub to make a call to a CIA agent to inform him of the find, but while she is doing that someone gets insides and blows up Connor. --- Livid, Hannah has no time to grieve as she learns that Agent Bradworth and Russian Nicolas Kirov used them as bait to trap crime lord Mr. Pavski, who killed the crew on the sub¿s last voyage except for Kirov who wants revenge. The CIA wants to use her to get top secret information Pavski possesses about Putin¿s Russia. Pavski is obsessed with finding the precious artifact the Golden Cradle because he believes it will give him more power. Hannah and Kirov team up to get Pavski because he killed people they loved. --- Though a bit over the top, the Johansen mother and son team provide an exciting thriller that uses a touch of romance to relieve some of the stratospheric levels of tension. SILENT THUNDER is a superb cat and mouse caper with the bad guy and some of the so called good guys consistently changing the rules of the game to better fit their personal agendas. Hannah is a courageous but typical of the action thriller genre as a person who seeks vengeance for her brother¿s murder and though she lacks the skills and it means placing her own life on the line whereas Kirov is an enigmatic introvert who has plenty of experience surviving the dark side of life. --- Harriet Klausner
