Firstly, I was intrigued by a plot which had something different going for it - a young, pregnant woman is rescued by a USA Navy warship, and it turns out she was kidnapped and sold as a slave to a Muslim terrorist. She is found after drifting in a dinghy for two days and taken into the hospital of the warship.The captain, a man who doesn't like women in the Navy and is fond is telling everyone about his feelings falls for her (of course)and things go downhill from there - just when they should have gone up!Several plots which go nowhere - Abby is terrified of being found by the terrorist and the CIA is threatening to take her in for questioning. Our Hero stops them in the time honoured fashion - but this is silly. NO WAY would the CIA allow her to escape their clutches and nothing OH can do would prevent them. Just when one would expect the terrorist to rear his head and have everyone spring into action to save her - nothing happens!There is a distinct lack of authenticity in the birth of her baby - no woman (or even male nurse) is called to help.A female naval personnel threatens the captain with a serious charge and the officer who comes to investigate is a woman. She is keen on the second in command - but he is married and she slinks off into the sunset and doesn't even meet the hot doctor!Really, this novel, which promised so much, is not a thriller and goes nowhere! There are also typos in the manuscript which should have been caught by an editor.
