Undetected by Dee Henderson

Unusual.  Unexpected.  Unpredictable. Unlikely to be put down anytime soon. That’s how I describe Undetected, the latest novel by Dee Henderson. Undetected is the story of Mark Bishop, Commander of the submarine USS Nevada, and Gina Gray, a genius in the scientific world.  Gina has made several breakthroughs in naval warfare for the Navy that has put the USA leagues ahead of other countries.  Once her brain gets going, it can’t stop.  She had made another major breakthrough and shares it with Mark, whose high rank can get it into the hands of the people that most need to know about it.  These breakthroughs, while extremely helpful, can put both their lives in danger, should the information slip into the wrong hands.

 

I absolutely love how I cannot anticipate anything in Dee Henderson’s books. She really knows how to keep the reader guessing, and Undetected was no different.  Ms. Henderson is very thorough in her research, and this is very evident in her writing.  Her descriptions of the different areas and the activities of the submarine were very enlightening, and helpful in understanding the entire story line.  The reader has to be careful not to get bogged down by the technical descriptions, but perseverance is rewarded by the end of the book.  It seemed a little slow starting off, but it does not take long to be entranced by the story.  There are several on-the-edge-of-your-seat moments (more in this book than in the last couple of books).  This book is a good book for anyone who enjoys books with a lot of action, and anyone who has enjoyed Ms. Henderson’s other books.  I definitely look forward to her future releases.
