5.0 out of 5 stars David Meadows hits a grand slam, August 15, 2002

This review is from: Sixth Fleet #4, The: Cobra: Blood Across the Med (Paperback)

Capt. Meadows wraps up the Sixth Fleet series with a bang, political skullduggery, military action, a raving ego maniac and main characters innerpersonal conflicts will keep this book in the reader's hands until they meet the back cover. The downside is we have to wait until Igor writes another series, hurry up David.

5.0 out of 5 stars NO BS -- IGOR IS A VERY GOOD, December 16, 2002

Please take the time to read CAPT Meadows books. I could say a lot of wonderful things to get you to go out and buy his books, but I believe it would be better to let you know about CAPT Meadows from my own personal experience.

I met Dave (Igor) in 1974. He was a CTI1 (E6) linguist stationed in Athens, and I flew with him over the next 3 years. He was extremely competant, hard working, and very intimidating. Igor stands somewhere in the neighborhood of 6'6". Dave knows the Med better than anyone. He knows the enemy, the tactics, the "game". He's been out there on all the recce aircraft as an aircrewman, been on the ships as a cryptologic direct support rider, and rode the ships as a division officer. He's been on Fleet Staff duty and know's about the integration of fleet sensor information, and how it may affect operations. He's been there and done that. So when you read about the stories, you can really sense what it's like to be in those shoes. Dave knows what he's talking about. Finally, do yourself a favor, go out and read one of his books. He's a raising star in this genre and you won't ever forget his work. He's made a significant difference in the cryptologic community, and I hope that he will continue to influence Naval leadership in the future by writing more. Thanks, Igor!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Terrific Sea Tale By Navy Captain Meadows", November 3, 2002

I just finished reading the last book in Mr. Meadows Sixth Fleet series, "Cobra," and, it was just great. I enjoyed all (4) books in the series, but "Cobra," was without doubt my favorite! I was so lost in the story that I finished reading it in one night. It honestly was that good. I look forward to Navy Captain Meadows next novel with eager anticipation!
