PRAISE FOR THE U.S.S. CUNNINGHAM
‘A blockbuster… excellent’ Dale Brown
‘A direct hit! Stands head and shoulders above the chaff of hi-tech military novels’ Eric Van Lustbader
‘First-rate military suspense… Tom Clancy had better watch out’ Kirkus Reviews
My unpublished, sacrilegious story would have been better told as the USS Cunningham. These five stories capture the reader. If you have trouble putting down a good story, take a week off because this collection paints Navy operations, ships and personalities in spectacular detail, including the new Navy version of reproductive physiology and relationships.
Plots are a bit unrealistic, but good writing, in-depth navy details and fascinating places to visit with Google Earth or maps at the ready while reading. A geography lesson along with exciting adventures. Most all locations are real and most equipment is real, or has been planned at one time. Go Navy!
Incredible pace, almost unbelievable technology, characters to relate with, and intense sea battles, allied to effective diplomacy. What a combination, what a thrill ride, a great collection of stories.
I've read the sample to see how this fares. Not sure how much of the first book the sample gave me, but I more or less liked it. The plot is great. But. I was already wondering if I should buy the book, because the story telling was really too wordy (and that from someone who likes Tom Clancy ;-). Then I read the reviews of the following books and it became clear to me, that I wouldn't like them. If I ever find Choosers of the Slain for little money, I think I am going to buy it (99 cents).
