Reviews

[Chris · Rating 4 out of 5]

Radioman Matt Bertram because of his background from something that never happened is asked to volunteer to go undercover on the 7th Fleet's flagship to find a traitor giving intel to the Soviets. He gets a promotion and is in the shit quicker than he realizes. Fast paced. Pursuit at the end took too long. Too much restraint shown. Moving on to the third book.
