5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Red October, June 5, 2005

This review is from: Fairbanks Risen (Hardcover)
It's takes a military man to write a military novel. This novel excelled anything that Tom Clancy wrote in its storytelling. It is fun to read. It is terrifyingly realistic. This novel will keep the military happy. A great read.
I loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as Clancy, March 4, 2005
By 
Carriemeaway (south carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fairbanks Risen (Hardcover)
This book has a depth of knowledge I had never read before in a novel. But through all the details of the life of a serviceman a story is told that I could not put the book down once I had started. I recommend this book for anyone that wants realistic armed forces action.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fairbanks Risen, June 23, 2005
This review is from: Fairbanks Risen (Hardcover)
This story was GREAT!!. I served in the US Navy supervising the operations of Nuclear Power Plants aboard an Aircraft Carrier, knew and worked with many submariners as an instructor in the training programs of the Nuclear Navy, and am an active certificated commercial multi-engine pilot. Mr Foster weaves a believable account of what could happen if a skipper such as Nagamuchi were able to gain complete loyalty of a select few crewman. The battle damage to the surface ships is believable, as we all knew in a declared nuclear war, our ship, a mighty US Navy carrier, had an expected lifetime of 30 minutes. The description of the aircraft operations and communications is right on, and it is great hero stuff to have the hero fly an F14 on to a carrier deck. One cool sailor. This is a good story, that is hard to put down. It is as good as Tom Clancy (Hunt for Red October}or Stephen Coontz (Flight of the Intruder. The sequel should be a fantastic read also. Anyone who likes Clancy or Coontz should read this book by John Foster.
