This page turner comes highly recommended for those who are intrigued and impressed by naval operations. The technical descripion in the story line and the highly developed and intelligent characters could only have been invented and shaped from first hand experience. Captain Galdorisi's expertise makes the Coronado Conspiracy a must read.

I enjoyed reading this book. The story details naval involvement in the anti-drug wars, something I was not faliliar with before. Captain Galdorisi's descriptions and unique storyline really make this book a page turner. I highly reccommend this book for anyone looking for a highly detailed military thriller.

I bought this book to kill time during a vacation and was pleasantly surprised with the storyline and action. The theme and sub-themes are particularly relevant today and offered more surprises than my latest Clancy read.

This book deals with topics I've always been extremely interested in: the inner workings of the military, and the way in which it relates to undisputed civilian authority. If you liked "Seven Days in May", you'll certainly like this novel. The characters are very well defined, and the issue of the way in which our military is suffering from reduced budgets and narrow-minded policies for its use is very discreetly addressed, but firmly at the same time. There is an unmistakable sense of currency to this book; the events it narrates could very well be happening right now! As a prospective military person, I have to congratulate Captain Galdorisi on a job well done; Thank You, Sir!! If there is only want thing I could say I found lacking was the ending; I would've loved to learn more about the process against Generals Campbell and Walters. Maybe in the next book, right, Captain? :-)

This is a "low-tech" Tom Clancy-type military/political thriller that keeps you turning the pages until you reach the awesome climax. A plot by two top West Point-grad generals goes awry to make a military anti-drug operation fail in order to run out of office the incumbent President who is turning the military into a bunch of civil police. Only the guts and brains of a former Navy Seal, CIA undercover operative derails the plan.

Galdorisi brings years of naval experience and a true talent for writing together in this heart-pounding, page-turning novel about the intriuges of the Pentagon, the common sailor, the undercover operative, and gutsy admirals. He effectively mixes warfare action with building suspense as the deep-reaching conspiracy is revealed. The more Navy SEAL Rick Holden discovers, the more danger he finds himself in. The ending is appropriately climactic and draws this thrilling novel to an effective close. A definite reading choice for any guy who likes both hard-core warfare and intelligent suspense.
