5.0 out of 5 stars Very Absorbing Read!, June 2, 2002

This review is from: The Sixth Fleet #3: Tomcat (Paperback)

I read this novel by request of a friend. The storyline in "Six Fleet Tomcat" by David Meadows was most interesting and in no time I was completely absorbed in the compelling plot.

At times throughout the book I actually felt as though I was part of the action. And make no mistake about it there was plenty of action.

Loved the intrigue. Loved the characters. And, loved the tale of a small group of Marine Corps Survivors involved in a mission that went South of the Boarder (so-to-speak). A very compelling account as these Marines make their way across the Sahara.

"Sixth Fleet Tomcat" was intelligently written by man definately on the rise in the literary world!

This was, without a doubt, the best of the series so far. The story telling was so good that even the few technical errors didn't tarnish my enjoyment of the book. It's an excellant read. I look forward to the next book in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best one yet!, February 25, 2002

This review is from: The Sixth Fleet #3: Tomcat (Paperback)

As I was hoping, CAPT Meadows is getting better with each book. This book introduced important new characters and smoothly continued the storyline of earlier books. While some of the characters are rather stereotypical, they greatly contribute to the fun of this series. My only real question about this one was: Why is it called Tomcat? A more accurate title would have been Marine.

I felt that Meadows' characterization of the Marines was much better than his prior interlude with the SEALs. I really liked how the gunny kept thinking about the Foreign Legion as the Marines trekked across the Sahara.

A major part of the ongoing storyline in that the Sixth Fleet area is being treated as a sideshow to the conflict in Korea. While we are kept relatively up-to-date on the course of this campaign, I think a parallel series focusing on this theater would be very enjoyable.

Overall, this is the best entry yet in an entertaining series. I eagerly await the next installment.
