It really wasn’t that well written. In particular, the plot depends upon reading the previous book, which, of course I did not. Or at least, I don’t remember reading it. The other challenge is that the chapters are not coherent, or they don’t really follow each other reasonably well. What I mean by that is a plot line will take place in chapter 2, but in chapters 3, 4, & 5 and so on it doesn’t resolve, it just hangs there. So I don’t think I’ll read more of his writing.

It took me awhile to read as the Navy jargon was sometimes overbearing for my non-military self, plus I don’t have much free time to read anymore, but once the story got going it was easier to follow and I wanted to know how it ended. Looking forward to reading others in this series, as it is a very realistic look into the life of our military. 🇺🇸💛⚓️

I expect most readers will be upset as I was, that this is an unfinished work. The story that was offered was quite good though with a nice balance between political maneuvering and operational missions. Most of the characters were well crafted.
