Brilliant marine architect Hannah Bryson has been given a priceless opportunity. A U.S. maritime museum has just acquired the former pride of the Soviet fleet, the decommissioned submarine Silent Thunder, for public exhibition. Hannah must inspect every single inch of this legendary nuclear attack sub and design modifications that will make it safe for the thousands of expected visitors. Enlisting the aid of her brother, Connor, they examine the enormous vessel and delve into its long and lethal history.
But it was a trap.…
On a routine check, 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.…

But someone’s willing to kill to make sure Silent Thunder stays silent.…

"This was an absolutely wonderful read. It was fast paced, had good action, a little romantic tension, and a very good story line. I loved it. They have a sequel to this book that I can't wait to get my hands on. I'm very glad my in-laws gave me this book to read."

Silent Thunder Listener Reviews
-
" Another one of those books that I listened to on audio. A bit of history, mystery, romantic undertones, suspense... It has a powerful family undercurrent. It made me laugh and cry; and, more importantly, keep me captivated to hear the next chapter. I was very surprised when I found out this book was written by mother and son; no wonder the family theme was strong. Could easily be a great movie. "

" I liked the first book that I read by Iris Johansen better. This one was alright. A decent way to spend a day reading. This book was predictable. Especially in regard to Kirov's true identity. "
— Amethyst, 2/7/2014 -
" OK, so 2 stars probably isn't fair but I see that there are several 1 star reviews here so maybe I'm not alone. I started listening to this on audio and was up to part 4 when I ran smack into the whole Russian names thing/spy stuff. Completely lost interest and didn't finish. Life is too short to read/listen to something that doesn't grab me. "

" Awesome book, I loved the characters, and the plot, I felt for the sadness and loss, and I loved the action! Just a great book! Cover is a bit weird though, same with the next one. "

" I love just about everything Iris Johansen writes. This book was no exception. It had suspense, romance, political drama...it was a definite page-turner and I couldn't put it down! "
— Lisa, 12/4/2013 -
" This book was certainly a change from the other Iris Johansen novels that I have read. It's not the normal, romance suspense that she writes, it tries to be more of an action book. However, it needs more action if that is the direction she wanted to go. "
— Aurora, 11/26/2013 -
" Not what I expected from this author. Very slow going and not an interesting read in my opinion "
— Heather, 11/17/2013 -

— Corinne, 11/10/2013 -

— Jicara, 7/26/2013 -
" This is a taut suspense filled adventure from the first page to the last. But what else could you epect from Iris Johansen, and evidently the writing gene has been shared with her son Roy. "
— Pat, 2/8/2013 -
" Ending wrapped up to quickly but good action unitl then. "
— Pandora, 6/10/2012 -

" Liked the story line......quick read. "
— Amy, 12/11/2011 -
" I thought this book was reminiscent of other similar books with the same overtone and tremendous blood bath type of relationship loss - not sure if I need to change my author base or hope for better and less murderous type plots!!! "
— Shari, 11/5/2011 -
" Not the best Iris Johansen book that I have read. It was good for just killing time. "

" I got this book as a gift and I really enjoyed it. Have never read anything by this author so it was fun to try something new. Its a murder mystery thriller with lots of intrigue and a touch of KGB! <br/>I would reccomend it! "
— Karen, 4/7/2011 -
" Not really my type of book. I skipped over a lot of the technical and science jargon in order to get through it. If it was another author I probably wouldn't have finished it, don't know if I will bother with the rest of the series. "
— Sue, 2/10/2011 -
" This was a prequel to Shadow Zone. I actually read it first. Both books are quick reads. "

" Good read!!! A real page turner!! "
— Angela, 7/28/2010 -
" I've been an avid Iris Johansen reader, but just didn't enjoy this book. The plot felt too contrived and forced (even though all of her works are fanciful). This book just couldn't keep me interested. "
— Autumn, 7/28/2010 -
" This was a fast-paced thriller type. Unfortunately, I was ready to finish it. Nothing wrong with it, but I guess my tastes in reading have changed. Lots of dialogue, some action, and hints of romantic attraction. "
— Amoswald, 7/27/2010
