I love reading nonfiction about the service academies, as well as the occasional fictional work. This is one of the best service-academy novels I've ever read.
A real page turner full of nonstop action. Absolutely loved it.
I especially loved how the author alternated scenes between Midshipman Dan and Admiral Dan.
Though military thrillers aren't my usual thing, I've picked up the first book in the series and hope to read through them all.
Highly recommended!!
