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

By	John Savoy (California, "International Film Maker") - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant Read, February 13, 2002

By	Robert Wentzel "Bob Wentzel" (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 Tomcat a great Military/thriller, August 28, 2003

By	Rick Flanagan (Peabody, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just finished "The Sixth Fleet: Tomcat." I was impressed with the character development and the accuracy with which military strategy and equipment was presented. As a retired military officer, David's portrayal of combat is accurate and gives the reader a real sense of how a modern military force operates in a world faced with unconventional threats. I throughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who is interested in Military/Thrillers. Great job, David...
