In the custom of Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler, Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and W.E.B. Griffin, R. E. McDermott gives a thriller to rival the experts. When marine engineer and very part-time spook Tom Dugan becomes collateral harm in the Conflict on Terror, he's not about to take it lying down. Falsely implicated in a hijacking, he's offered a chance to clear himself by supporting the CIA snare their real victim, Dugan's best friend, London dispatch owner Alex Kairouz. Reluctantly, Dugan agrees to go undercover in Alex's company, despite questions about his friend's guilt. Once undercover, Dugan's steadfast refusal to accept Alex's guilt places him at possibilities not only with his CIA superiors, but also with a lovely United kingdom agent with whom he's romantically included. Whenever a tanker is available adrift near Singapore with a deceased team, and another explodes in Panama as Alex sits near death after having a suspicious suicide attempt, Dugan is framed for the disorders. Out of options, and convinced the disorders are prelude to a far more damaging assault, Dugan eludes take to check out his last business lead to Russia, only to be shanghaied as an "advisor" to a Russian Spetsnaz device on a suicide mission. Deadly Straits is a nonstop joy ride, from London pavements, to the dried up docks of Singapore, to the decks of the tankers that feed the world's thirst for petrol, with stops along the way in Panama, Langley, Virginia, and Teheran. Richly spiced with depth from the author's 30 years sailing, building, and mending ships worldwide, it is, in the words of 1 reviewer, "fast-paced, multilayered, and gripping."
