Description

Number-one bestselling author Iris Johansen teams up with Edgar Award winner Roy Johansen and the result is an explosive, tour-de-force thriller. . . Silent Thunder.
It was the assignment of a lifetime. . . .
Brilliant marine architect Hannah Bryson has been given the job of a lifetime. A U.S. maritime museum has just acquired the decommissioned Soviet submarine Silent Thunder for public exhibition. It's Hannah's job to make sure that every single inch of the legendary nuclear attack sub is safe for the thousands of visitors anticipated. Enlisting the aid of her brother, Connor, they examine the enormous vessel and delve into its long—-and lethal—-history.
But is it really a trap?
In the course of their investigation, Connor discovers a mysterious message behind one of the ship's panels. But before he can figure out what it means, there's a deadly assault on Silent Thunder. . . .
Though the U.S. government tries to warn Hannah away, she'll stop at nothing to find the ruthless mastermind behind her brother's death. Even if it means joining forces with a mysterious man who may be even more dangerous than the enemy she has sworn to bring down. As Hannah finds herself in the crossfire of an epic standoff, her only hope for survival is to unravel the sub's explosive secret. But someone's willing to kill to make sure Silent Thunder stays silent. . . .
Brisk, exhilarating, and filled with authentic details, Silent Thunder is what you get when you team the biggest name in suspense with the stunning plot twists of an Edgar Award—winning author. Get ready for a page-turning thrill ride!

        The talented Johansens—mother and son, teamed for the first time—offer a rousing adventure that follows marine architect Hannah Bryson as she struggles to uncover a terrorist threat aboard a nuclear submarine, all in the name of tourism, of course. Though the plot is far-fetched, this thriller is read with passion and vigor by Jennifer Van Dyck. Her voice is steeped in mystery, creating an absolutely stirring and brooding atmosphere. Van Dyck’s characters are each as original and thoughtfully crafted, her wide-ranging dialects ring true and bring an air of authenticity. Van Dyck’s passionate reading serves the story well, drawing listeners into the tale from the opening paragraph. A St. Martin’s hardcover (Reviews, May 12).

        Bestseller Johansen (Quicksand
        ) and her Edgar-winning son, Roy (Deadly Visions
        ), collaborate on their first thriller with entertaining results. Hannah Bryson, a top-notch submarine designer, and her brother, Conner, must make sure that a Russian nuclear submarine, the Silent Thunder
        , recently purchased by the U.S. government for use as a maritime museum, is safe for visitors. Working alone on the sub in a Maine harbor, the two make a strange discovery that's swiftly followed by a deadly attack. Others, both Russian and American, want what the Brysons have uncovered and will stop at nothing to obtain it. One Russian, Nicolas Kirov, has a special interest in the submarine as well as a growing interest in the feisty, beautiful Hannah. The constantly bickering Hannah and Kirov are forced to work together for a common goal as they fight various enemies and, of course, fall in love. The romantic subplot threatens to take over the action, but is thankfully reined in at the exciting finale. 12-city author tour.

        The cold war heats up again in Johansens latest thriller, when marine architect Hannah Brysons brother, Connor, is killed in an explosion aboard a decommissioned Russian submarine theyrepreparing for a nautical museum exhibit. Although the U.S. government official appointed to handle the investigation wants Hannah to believe Connors death wasaccidental, Hannah thinks otherwise. Just minutes before he died, Connor discovered cryptic symbols etched into metal panels hidden deep withinSilent Thunder, and Hannah knows that if shes ever to learn the truth about her brothers murder, shell have to solve the codes mystery. Doing so, however, involves herin a protracted feud between two Russian operatives, Kirov and Pavski, who havea blatant disregard for human life when their missions are threatened. Its clearly a case of not knowing who ones friends or enemies are, as Hannah has to decide if Kirovs deep-seated hatred of Pavski equals her own need for revenge. Though the inherent distrust of all thingsrelated to Russia and its military complex has long been a staple of the international thriller genreand, as such, runs the risk of appearing trite and staleJohansens collaboration with her crime-novelist son imbues their saga with muscular characters and a brisk immediacy that keep it gripping and relevant.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
