Decent military thriller. Gandt, being a former naval aviator, writes a very good aerial combat sequence.

An Arab terrorist vows take vengeance against the US in Yemen and carries out his attack against the aircraft carrier Reagan and its battle group in the Gulf of Aden. This book is perfect for lovers of military stories. It was a decent read, but a bit too heavy on the military jargon for my taste.

One mans actions
Any one with a military background will enjoy this book. How the Navy works and how the upper levels of the administration operates together is shown. Exelent read.

Ripping
Nail biting military strategy/action that only probably Gandt can come up with. The action sequences kept me on the edge of the seat...

Enthralling
From start to finish, a non-stop thriller that kept my attention into the wee hours. Zandt knows how to build a story that, given today's political picture, could well be true. I couldn't put it down...

Another "Brick Maxwell" tale. Brick is an FA-18 navy pilot leading the
fight against mid east terrorists. Pretty good.
