3.0 out of 5 stars
"Not a deep read, but plenty of good action",
By A Customer
This review is from: Second Voyage of the Seventh Carrier (Paperback)
A rather interesting premise. A brave new world where jets and rockets are rendered useless by a Chinese "Star Wars" satelitte. The only hope for mankind lays in the ancient carrier "Yonaga" and her crews of old samuri.A very fast paced read. Albano writes some very good action scenes, especially the final confrontation in the Med between "Yonaga" and the Libyans. Also interesting to see how a crew born during Japan's militaristic era cope with the present day world, never once relinquishing their samuri code. Character development is okay. The romance between Brent Ross and the Israeli agent seemed forced and rushed. Dialogue could have been better. Still, not bad for a pure, hard action book.

This review is from: Second Voyage of the Seventh Carrier (Paperback)
The only unrealistic part is the basic premise of a satellite system renedering all the worlds rockets and missiles useless is far-fetched. Although to turn the first novel into a series it was necessary. It was defintiely an interesting and fast paced read. The way the old bushido code is thrust into the modern world is very invocative of the fast pace with which it had happened.
