It closely parallels the plot from the movie "The Enemy Below" starring Robert Mitchum and Curd Jurgens, which remains one of my favorite WWII war movies. A similar plot appeared during the first season of Star Trek TOS as "Balance of Terror," which was one of my favorite episodes from that series. Some elements of the story seemed a little contrived, but the book remains memorable, more than thirty years later. I think that one of the things that impressed me about the book and the earlier stories I mentioned was that most of the story tension comes not from action, but from the tension of fighting an enemy that, initially at least, may or may not exist. As the stories develop, the tension is between two capable foes who are hunting each other. It takes a skilled writer to pull that off. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A prequel in the space adventure series by the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author. In the prequel to Voyage of the Star Wolf, the starship Roger Burlingame is obsolete as it drifts through space on the brink of collapse. Yet, as its demoralized crew hopes for reassignment and its weary captain counts the days before his promotion to a desk job, a fanatical first officer named Korie refuses to succumb to apathy. He believes he has seen the enemy--no more than a blip on a screen--and he's sure he can defeat them. Korie knows he will need these men--even if they hate him--to hold the Burlingame together until the final confrontation. But as they drift ever deeper into the oblivion, following quarry that may be only a figment of their first officer's imagination, the crew must decide whether Korie is a savior or a madman--and whether he is leading them to glory or certain annihilation.
