Another victory for the admiral,
By corsorob@pilot.msu.edu (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Away Boarders (Hardcover)
I could never do justice to this book in a short review. All I can say is that if you have read "Now Hear This" or "Clear the Decks"; you will not be disappointed in this volume, which continues the saga of Fatso Gioninni. If you haven't, then you're missing more than you know. Find it, and treasure it always.

WAR WAS NEVER LIKE THIS,
By
This review is from: Away Boarders (Hardcover)
Fatso Gioninni -- Boatswain's Mate First Class, Captain of LCU 1124 on Duty with the United States Navy's Mediterranean Fleet -- Had everything going for himself and his crew. CAP'N FATSO AND IS INIMITABLE CREW found themselves embroiled in hot water that the Navy could approve in no way...His landing craft was being used as a freighter to deliver liquor to various embassies around the Mediterranean and that meant Fatso and his boys were on their own. Their infallible talent for trouble leads to many escapades dealing with Cap'n Fatso's one-man (and not-so-cold) war with units of the Russian fleet in Mediterranean waters. First there was their own little Mediterranean war, with their one small LCU 1124 pitted against the Russian fleet. Fortunately -- or unfortunately -- a mine too close for comfort, made them give that one up. Then there was the big caper that involved A U.S. built gunboat the Russians were escorting to the Egyptians, a Russian frogman defector who was a very clever girl and Fatso's friends, the Israelis. It all worked out -- Cap'n Fatso and his men held the original patent on coming up smelling like roses. Hilarious antics for old salts and land lubbers alike ..
