Product Description:
A spy plane gathering data on a new Russian weapon is blown out of the sky by a mysterious MiG. Is it an accident or the start of the subsequent world war? One U.S. agency has what it takes to find out-the National Security Agency and its covert operations team: DEEP BLACK.
Working for the NSA, ex-Marine sniper Charlie Dean is dispatched to Russia, hooking up with former Delta Force trooper Lia DeFrancesca to find out what happened to the plane. The Deep Black team stumbles across an even more alarming secret-a plot to assassinate the Russian president and overthrow the democratic government by force. The coup could have dire consequences for Russia and the world. With no clearance from the government it's called on to protect, the National Security Agency goes to war. But before Lia and Dean can unravel the conspiracy, they learn that one of the spy plane's passengers-an NSA techie-survived the crash. Critical information could fall into enemy hands. And that enemy is playing to the death.

I have enjoyed Coonts in the past, but this book was really bad.
It was dull. The main character was not interesting, but worse- he was only marginally competent. Now I learn there is a series of books with him as the lead. Why? He is not tough. He is not particularly resourceful. I don't care about him at all. I found myself skipping page after page, Finally at page 225 I punted.
I wish I had read the reviews first.

I rather enjoyed this book, but perhaps this is because I listened to the abridged version. In this version, some of the transitions are rather confusing, but I could still follow along just fine, and it did not spoil my enjoyment of the story.
If you want realism, this is not a book for you. However, if you want a fun, suspenseful, story with cool gadgets, worldly themes, interesting characters, and a lot of action, then I would recommend this abridged version.

Everybody CALM DOWN!!! Who cares if this book was ghost written, or why and how Coonts developed the story? If you like fast, furious action, with plenty of plot twists and turns, then read it. It's almost like watching an action movie--you DON'T always know exactly what's going on every second, but that's the beauty--you eventually find out through the action sequences. RELAX!!
Anyway, if you like this sort of thing--simple, yet action-filled, you will enjoy this book. Sometimes you just need comic-book stuff like this. Go for it!!

The book is bored and poorly written. You won't care about what will happen to the protagonists. It's so boring. It can't keep my attention at all.

Steven Coonts writes a highly improbable story about an American covert team (Deep Black) from the National Security Agency gathering data on a new Russian weapon. They fly around in an armed plane and have various firefights - is the Russian military not going to respond in force? If you can skip over the likelihood that this is even remotely possible then you will enjoy the book. This is a suspense thriller and the author says all of the technology exists or is being developed. It is how it deployed that one questions. However, if you're looking for something for a plane ride or you're a Stephen Coonts' fan then you will enjoy the book.
