Another great read in this evolving series. Ms. Maki's talents as an author are also evolving. This series and particularly this book has a unique literary style that makes it and its characters much more vibrant than usual. My estimate is that 50% of the content is 1st person utterances by the characters. This gets the readers imagination more involved for a more full filling and in depth experience. While the books can be read as standalones I highly recommend reading the entire series in order. Each volume builds on its predecessor and with this style of writing the more you have read the better the experience will be.

Great read
The Makis. When it comes to Navy and aircraft carriers , they know their stuff. I love some of the humor thrown in. I Also recognize a lot of names, whether Intentional or not it always brings back memories of other books and movies. I think Brubaker was William Holden's name in Bridges of Toko Ri, another good Navy movie set in Korean War. Grace Kelly, Micky Rooney, my old Squadron, at its begining, HC-1. What's not to like.
I'd love this to be made into a movie series but it would be way to expensive.

The most exciting, modern, “what if” naval aviation time travel series continues
The saga of time traveling Americans fighting in WW II, both against the Nazi’s and Imperial Japanese, continues. Samantha Hunt and her pilots and crews of their advanced aircraft, adapt to larger numbers of enemy, who now seek to make the war personal. Read and enjoy these magnificent books by the Maki’s. You’ll thirst for more realistic action, and feel the adrenaline flow…

Good series, but...
Loved the series but this must be one of the worst edited books and series I have read all year and I've read about 125 so far. This book was filled with footnotes that linked to proofreader notes. I would consider all 6 books so far to be not ready for print yet. Engaging stories, good action, good character development but horrid proofreading and editing. If it was edited properly, 5 stars all day long.

Riveting read
Another excellent book in this series, superb action, believable characters. Hard to put down, can't wait to see how decent tanks will give the allies a chance against Germany's armoured might. Bring it on!

KEEPS GETTING BETTER
ACTION, STRATEGY, ROMANCE, DANGER, & COURAGE make up most of this story.. Very realistic naval deployment & war time circumstances as well as home front concerns. Additing reading.

This series continues to provide WW2 alternate history as a lively and engaging story.
WW2 was an all-encompassing engagement that continues to fascinate writers and readers as a historical event to be revisited and serve as a source for many interesting tales. On to the next installment.

This is a book you cannot put down…
Its raw powerful combat at supersonic speeds, and goes beyond the danger zone.

Good read
Enjoyed this latest volume but the proof reader could have done a better job. Many errors that were distracting. But still good.

Fast moving.
As good as the first 5 books. Finished it at 5am this morning. That's good writing and a rollicking tale.

3.5 stars. Better than the previous book in the series. While the year(s) advance and new events occur, it's basically the same plot as in the previous books.
