1.5 stars ~ Quick, uninspiring read. Weak and boring. DO NOT spend real money on this book. Considering the author is allegedly a retired Naval officer, the lack of military discipline by the characters was astounding. Maybe he dumbed it down for readers that do not have a military background. I'll give Meadows one more opportunity with another in this series, but this book was borderline OK, at best. The plot had potential but it never really got my interest. The characters were lackluster for the most part. The "ending" left me scratching my end for more info.
