Nuclear Captain: The war may be over but the fight for Naval supremacy continues... (The Submariner Sinclair Naval Thriller Series Book 4) Kindle Edition

by John Wingate (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.8 out of 5 stars 1,173 ratings
Submariner Sinclair is back in another thrilling adventure! Perfect for fans of Clive Cussler, Douglas Reeman and Duncan Harding.

Can Peter Sinclair and his men foil a Communist revolt in the Caribbean?

Lieutenant Peter Sinclair, R.N. is recalled to serve with the British Section of the United Nations Naval Security Force.

In command of one of Britain’s first nuclear-powered submarines, H.M. Nuclear Submarine Rugged, Sinclair manages to man her with most of his former ship’s company, including Able Seaman Bill Hawkins and Lieutenant Hank Jefferson, U.S. Navy.

Dispatched to deal with gun-running supply ships based on Cuba and Puerto Rico, Rugged finds the whole area is about to erupt into open revolt, stirred up by Communist intrigue under the leadership of an insane fanatic.

Thrown into the fray, Sinclair and his men must prevent an execution that will start a rebellion.

But with a traitor in their midst, it is their most dangerous mission yet.

NUCLEAR CAPTAIN is the fourth book in the Submariner Sinclair series: rip-roaring authentic adventures following a British submarine crew.

    Suddenly we've leapt forward in time and into some truly unbelievable scenarios. I really enjoyed the first three books in the series and found them to be well written and "believable", but this chapter in the series really stretches the imagination. I plowed through and will move on to the next book but I really hope it gets back to a more realistic storyline.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Action packed
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 29, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    If you like action packed stories, then this is for you.
    In many ways the "Sinclair " series has similarities to the "Gilmour" series by David Black, though in the Sinclair series our hero doesn't (at least so far) have the frequent romantic encounters that Harry Gilmour does.
    The action in "Nuclear Captain" is fast paced & almost non- stop; & the conclusion is really good & for me was completely unexpected -Sorry no hints from me, you'll have to read it for yourself to see what I mean but suffice to say I loved it.
    Rarely do I find a book that grips me so much & I can't wait to read book five! (less)

    I found this story line out of kilter time wise, but still it was a decent read. Some things seemed a little far fetched at times but then again fiction isn’t relegated to the confines of historical accuracy. I reduced several stars as I found the story line disjointed & a wee bit confusing in some spots. If it’s an action story the reader is wanting then his appetite should be well sated with this one.

    The story was not what I'd hoped from the writer. Hopefully he returns to a more sensible story line in the future. A nuc!ear submarine with a crew who appear to have been trained in a remarkably short period of time after WW II?
