I remember watching this series when I was younger and little did I know there was a book based on it. Quite a good read; felt like watching an episode. Lt. Harm was and still is my favorite character and the F-14 Tomcat is my favorite of Navy aircrafts. Can’t wait till I find the second book in the small series! Wish there had been more!

I was a huge fan of the show, and bought this back in the day. I read it once, and it's been sitting on my shelf in the nearly 20 years since. It's not the best book, but not horrible.

What a fun read. I loved JAG when it was on the air, finding this book was just too much temptation to resist. Quite enjoyed it.

I'm a huge, huge fan of the TV show JAG. So when I stumbled across this book by pure accident at the Bookshop, it literally made my day.

The five men of the Davey Jones Locker Club have been meeting annually since their graduation together from Annapolis. But this year after their reunion one of them, Hawkes, is murdered and the other four become suspects, particularly Philips who was not quiet about his jealousy of Hawkes' job. Now it's up to Harmon Rabb and his coworkers at JAG to find out who the murderer really was.

This book was pretty awesome. The television series ended in 2005 and this novel read just like an episode, so it was great to have a new JAG "episode" to enjoy. There is a second book but sadly it's also out of print so I think I'm going to have a difficult time finding it.
