1.0 out of 5 stars pass on this yawner, April 5, 2005

By	Bo Carras (Southwest Asia) - See all my reviews

This is just another "male comic book." my buds and me had a good laugh over some of Meadows' claims to "insider knowledge" he makes in the story. He also uses a lot of technical jargon and technical descriptions in place of solid action plotting and dialog that has a real ring to it instead of words that sound like they came off any dozen action flicks. The plot and action scenes are what make or break a book of this type but five guys who are real-life versions of the characters in the story flung the book at the wall before they finished the first twenty pages. Come on, warrior brother, you can do better than this, (even if you have to make it all up). In the meantime I suggest readers get hold of a copy of Strike Force Baghdad by Mark K. Roberts, a much better book all around.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Igor is right on the money" says an ex-spook, March 10, 2005

By	Al Jusoos (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

David Meadows was known as Igor to his shipmates. After 37 years of service to this nation he's now a full time author. AS an ex-spook who knew the fliers, lived with the spooks and heard all the sea stories, he's right on the money.

He gets better every book, every page, every paragraph. Read him for the characters, the plots and the dialogue. Know that Chief Razi is out there somewhere *hey, CTRC Carter, it might be you?*

Most of all, buy the damned books and treat yourself to a great reading experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars CAPTAIN MEADOWS HAS DONE IT AGAIN!, January 2, 2006

By	TeacherMan1 "Andy" (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews

I've been a major fan of Captain Meadows ever since he wrote his first book. He certainly knows how to weave exciting stories that hold my interest to the very satisfying end.

His characters are very likable, the dialogue realistic, and the scenery and action is exciting!

I can't wait to read his next one. How he maintained both the SIXTH FLEET and the JOINT TASK FORCE series in such admirable fashion is inconceivable to me.

Amazing author!
