Goodreads review by George on November 17, 2019

This was a good fighting-terrorists type book. I liked the first one better--sequels are rarely as good as others. This book is essentially filler between the first novel and others. Premise is over the top......more

Goodreads review by Gary on June 01, 2017

Goodreads review by Jon Nelson on November 22, 2017

Could not put this book down. A true sign of idiots in D.C. and our Armed Forces. If this was real life, the Admirals career would have been ruined.......more
