ABOUT KIROV - By John Schettler The popular movie The Final Countdown opened an interesting can of worms when it dropped a modern US Aircraft carrier into the Pacific on 6 December, 1941 with a chance to use her advanced aircraft and weaponry to decisively affect the outcome of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Now this vintage Sci-fi military tale can no longer claim to be the final countdown, for a new novel by John Schettler, Kirov, available March 2012 in the popular military fiction genre, and it again examines a confrontation between a modern naval vessel and the forces of World War II. In this gripping naval saga the Russian battlecruiser Kirov is recommissioned in the year 2021 and returns to haunt NATO war game planners once again. But an accident aboard a nuclear submarine cruising with the formidable flagship of the Northern Fleet sends Kirov 70 years into the past, and right into the midst of the battle for the North Atlantic. The British discover the ship, presume it is a new German raider, and the fireworks soon begin at sea, and aboard Kirov herself as the ship's officers struggle to decide which side they are on, and what to do about the war they now find themselves in. The Royal Navy and US Atlantic Fleet square off against the most powerful surface combatant that ever put to sea. The Final Countdown meets The Hunt For Red October in this exciting novel, a compelling and deeply satisfying read by a master story teller. If you are a fan of naval fiction you will not be disappointed by this book. Written in a style that rivals some of the very best authors in the genre, C. S. Forester could not have done it any better! Less
