Master Chief John Manahan's gripping account of drug wars on the high seas is pure fiction (he says in his disclaimer) but it reads like a real live action report. From the first chapter, it's obvious Manahan follows the first rule for writers: Write what you know. Manahan writes what he knows, and after a career that took him to the rank of master chief petty officer, the highest level a non-commissioned officer can reach in the U.S. Coast Guard, Manahan knows a lot! The action seems like it's really happening. But be on guard for a dramatic story that is immensely complex, where you'll meet individual crew members of a battery of ships with a variety of missions that will challenge your ability to keep them sorted out. But the loose ends are all tied up masterfully in an action-packed finale. The story is marred with more than a few typographical errors, but the action is so real you get used to the typos after a while, without which I would have rated this novel FIVE STARS. --Stan Bailey

John Manahan's L/E PAT is definitely a story you don't want to put down and most certainly don't want to end. The characters are lively and endearing and the multiple story lines certainly keep the reader on his/her toes! The discriptive language, engaging dialogue between characters, and shocking twists really makes this a must read for any action lover!
