3.0 out of 5 stars Sequel to the WWII PT-Boat story The Slot. Post WWII, December 23, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Papa Tango (Hardcover)
If you really got into the characters in the WWII PT boat story The Slot then you probably want to read this book to find out what happen to the characters after WWII. Not too much that is good. The book The Slot and this book, Papa Tango are both well written but I liked the characters in The Slot and wished they would have had happier lives in post WWII USA. It's a well written book but too sad for my taste.
