DARKSIDE
A dead-on sense of place and appealing characters in tight cornerssatisfying.
Kirkus Reviews
Deutermann has now published seven pounding-pulsers. For this book, he was back at Dahlgren and Mahan, updating his reef points.
Baltimore Sun
HUNTING SEASON
[An] explosive tour de forcethe author exceeds his near-perfect Train Man with this ripped-from-the-headlines plot pitting a middle-aged Rambo with a small but deadly arsenal of spy gadgets against spine-chilling villains, corrupt agency brass and powerful political forces. Deutermann never sounds a wrong note in this non-stop page-turner.
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The tale is loaded with political and bureaucratic skullduggery, and there are plenty of well-banked curves and clever twists. A solid read from an author whose own tradecraft is every bit as good as that of his characters.
Booklist
You think you have read this before. Trust me. You havent. And you shoulda great read.
Tribune (Greensburg, PA)
One of the lasting conventions in thriller-writing involves putting the hero in a situation where the reader is forced to ask, How can he possibly get out of that?Deutermannexploits that convention to the hilt in Hunting Season .
Houston Chronicle
Enough techno and black ops to satisfy Clancy fans, enough double-dealing, back-pedaling internecine treachery to keep Carre fans reading, and enough plot turns and suspense to keep Crichton and Higgins Clark devotees guessing.
The Florida Times-Union
Deutermanns previous novel, Train Man , was a marvelous, bang-up action novelin Hunting Season he equals the thrillsDeutermann writes with authority and inventiveness. Add in top-secret gizmos, heroes meaner than villainsand youve got one of the best by one of the best at what he does.
Telegraph [Macon, GA]
Deutermann has sold three novels to Hollywood already. Theyre blind if they pass on this one.
Kirkus Reviews
TRAIN MAN
Deutermann delivers his most accomplished thriller yet. Intelligent, expertly detailed and highly suspenseful.
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Another solid performance from Deutermann, this time about a train-hating, vengeance-hungry madman and the FBI agents seeking to derail him. Quality entertainment: the details convince, the people are real, the plot twists legitimate.
Kirkus Reviews
ZERO OPTION
Zero Option delivers[Deutermann] keeps his story moving briskly.
Proceedings
Exciting, movinga top-notch topical thriller.
Publishers Weekly
[Deutermann] returns in top form with this gripping taleintensely plausible entertainment.
Kirkus Reviews
SWEEPERS
An explosive dramaDeutermann fans like myself will be thrilled to see that he keeps getting better.
Nelson DeMille
Deutermanns inside knowledge of the Navy and Pentagon politics, coupled with his likeable protagonists, make this a gripping new addition to his line of naval mysteries.
Publishers Weekly
A fine page-turner.
Library Journal
OFFICIAL PRIVILEGE
A tight story lineAn attractive combination of murder mystery and naval politics.
The New York Times Book Review
P.T. Deutermann has become one of our best thriller writersA keenly entertaining, fascinating mystery.
Observer (Florida)
Superb plotting and characterization are here, as is suspense and a clear awareness of the dangers and dalliances that can thrive in official Washington Official Privilege is more than just a whodunit and a Navy story; it is a suspenseful indictment of power politics.
Florida Times-Union
THE EDGE OF HONOR
One heck of an exciting voyageP.T. Deutermann ships a reader onto the bridge in that special placewhere men go down to the sea in ships. He adds a first-rate suspense novel as bargain.
Tampa Tribune and Times
The Edge of Honor is the rare book that addresses the complexities of war at the front and also at home. The author captures the Vietnam period and its confusion perfectly. Particularly interestingand horrifyingis the culture depicted on the Hood, a real-life ship around which the novel is set.
The Baltimore Sun
The Edge of Honor is headed up the bestseller list.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Utterly convincingUnlike many technothriller writers, he has as good a grasp of what makes people tick as of what makes a modern warship function. Deutermanns clear mission is to picture Navy life in a depth we have not seen before, and he succeeds brilliantly. His craftsmanship is amazing.

Scorpion in the Sea
This book is dedicated to the Brigade of Midshipmen at Annapolis, who inevitably rise to the standard of personal and professional ethics set for them by the example of their superior officers.
Its been almost forty years since I graduated from the Naval Academy, so I needed a lot of help to get abreast of the many institutional changes. My special thanks to Pamela Warnken, formerly of the Academys public information office, for fielding countless E-mails and getting me to the right people for answers. My thanks also to the superintendent at the time of my research, Vice Admiral John Ryan, USN, for arranging my initial tour of the contemporary facilities. The academy hosts 1.5 million guests each year, and I certainly appreciated the degree of access extended to me in preparation for this story. Thanks to Don Schwartz for expert advice on firearms, and to Doc Bellows of Schurr Sails for help with yachting details. I also received a great deal of useful insight from both academic faculty members and officers of the Academys executive department. They might not recognize what they told me once they read the book, but, as always, I pick and choose what I need to best enhance the story. Any resulting errors in Academy procedure or organization are, happily for them, all mine.
He floated at the top of the dive for what seemed like forever. Perfect takeoff, his legs delivering just exactly the right amount of spring, his arms balanced level with his chest and slightly behind, fingers webbed together, hands slightly cupped, eyes wide open, grinning nemesis back on the ledge, helpless to hurt him anymore. For what seemed an eternity, he hung suspended, and then, instinctively, as gravity beckoned, he tucked, arcing down through the calm morning air, his body aligning itself perfectly with the gathering slipstream, the darkened windows beginning to blur, a reflexive keening noise rising in his throat as he saw the diamond pattern of the plaza below coming into incredibly sharp focus as he held his breath and his perfectly vertical position in midair, no imbalance this time, no wobble in his legs or hips, statue-straight, rigid, accelerating, his best dive ever, the diamond pattern dissolving into individual segments of polished granite, bits of mica gleaming wonderfully clear, beckoning him to join them in their crystalline perfection, his eyes tearing from the rushing air. Time to go. Close your eyes, time to close your eyes. Inhale for the entry, your most perfect
The ashen-faced cook was close to hyperventilating. He was sitting at the first table inside the mess hall, hands clamped down on spread knees, eyes bulging wide open, staring straight ahead, as if not wanting to see the red stains all over his whites.
