NON-STOP ACTION AND ADVENTURE,
This review is from: Alpha Strike (Carrier) (Audio Cassette)
Non-stop action and adventure abound with Book Eight in this Naval Aviation Series. Tense and dramatic, Terence Aselford gives a superb reading as the day dawns on another Cold War. When a carrier is sent to the South China Sea to maintain a presence in that area, the Chinese provoke an international incident by sabotaging their own outpost and blaming it on America. A high-tech thriller at its best!

WHERE'S THE ACTION!!!,
By wperry@kih.net (Jackson, Kentucky) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alpha Strike (Carrier, No. 8) (Paperback)
This was a disappointment to me. The Carrier series has been action packed and militarily intense up until "Alpha Strike." Most of the book is about diplomacy between the U.S., China, and Vietnam with not a lot of air or sea battles taking place. Another problem I found was the editing. There is one point in the book where it is July 3 and 1800 hours local time then a few pages later the date is the same and the times earlier. What happened? Speaking of what happened, where is Willis E. Grant, a.k.a "Coyote." Hopefully, the next book in this series, "Arctic Fire" is a whole lot better.

A disappointment,
By Patrick (Plano, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alpha Strike (Carrier, No. 8) (Paperback)
This book was a big disappointment, Just too much diplomacy and no action at until the last 3 chapter in the book.
