Black Sea is a submarine thriller set in the murky depths of exactly where the title says.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

By no means a masterpiece, but a solid genre offering, a portrait of desperate men crammed together and surrounded on all sides by what one describes as "dark, cold death." What better way to escape the midwinter doldrums?
Christopher Orr, The Atlantic

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

A contemporary submarine thriller that serves the genre well.
Tom Russo, Boston Globe
