About this listen

The Delta Solution is an action-packed novel pitting Navy SEAL Mack Bedford (from Diamondhead and Intercept) against the Somali pirates operating off the southerly reaches of the lawless East African republic on the Indian Ocean. For the past three years, these heavily armed tribal brigands have been capturing and holding for ransom massive cargo ships, and violently demanding millions of dollars for their return. When the "Somali Marines" make a big mistake, seizing at gunpoint two United States ships and demanding a $15 million ransom for their return, hero Mack Bedford is deployed to obliterate them in the middle of the Indian Ocean, at all costs, once and for all.

You know what you are getting with Patrick Robinson. The full on US exceptionalism and lots of descriptions of military hardware is to the fore. Two thirds of the book is interesting as the plot centres on the economics of Somali pirates and the decisions of ship owners to pay ransoms. As in so much of life insurance companies call the shots.
I was disappointed with the final third which was poor by the authors standards including a ludicrous coincidence and the action was not dramatic.
The narrator was limited. If the bulk of the action involves non US voices please employ someone versatile enough to convince or at least get within a thousand miles of the voice.

Early promise poor ending

An okay book to have on while driving. Suspect the author has a red baseball cap with a certain logo on it. Build up and background on Somalia and piracy was good, totally invisible God like status of the US and Seals got a bit much.

Too invincible

I know this promotes Uncle Sam in a thick positive light, but can’t lie that this has been one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to in a long time. It had me chuckling to myself sometimes & the level of detail was just staggering. Also learned quite a few things i.e. the Somalian Pirates weren’t generally a bunch of amateurs, but businessmen who were professionals at what they did. Additionally, the Navy Seal’s best of the best were capable of wreaking incredible havoc in a flash. Overall a really good listen. Loved the excitement in the narration, however the portrayal of accents was a bit dodgy but not a big deal.

Not a bad story but could of been so much better with a good narrator. The accents were pretty bad and didn’t seem to change much. Bit like a Hollywood blockbuster acted by over eager Unknown’s. Sorry.

Good story. Disappointing narration

Great story and we'll narrated. Writer goes out of his way to eliminate obvious and critical support in the story. Checking maps for locations and facts like the nerd I am, it is clear to me this story (and I must remember it is well written fiction) is aimed at the US audience. Great story and I recommend this read.

USA single handedly saves the world.
