David E. Meadows is a retired U.S. Navy Captain and the author of numerous military thrillers such as Sixth Fleet, Seawolf, and Tomcat. He also writes an OPED column for Military dot com and is a member of the Authors Guild.

During his Navy Career of 37-years, David Meadows spent nearly 10-years at-sea on a variety of warships where he qualified as a Surface Warfare Officer. He has aircrew and Naval Observer wings with over 5000-flight hours in three different types of reconnaissance aircraft. He enlisted in the Navy in December 1967; made Chief Petty Officer in 1977; and was commissioned in 1980. He rose from E-2 in the Cryptologic field of the Navy to the Number 2 position as Deputy Commander, Naval Security Group Command; his last duty station and position prior to retirement.

David E. Meadows has a Bachelor of Science degree in Arabic/Middle East Studies with a minor in French. He speaks neither language well as evident by the French offering him unlimited libation if he would never-ever speak their language again. He also has a MBA and a MS in National Resource Strategy. He has served ashore in Rota, Spain; Athens, Greece; Sabana Seca, Puerto Rico; Bureau of Naval Personnel; London, England; Norfolk, Virginia; San Diego, California; Corry Station-Pensacola, Florida; and the Joint Staff.

He loves basketball, but the sport no longer loves him with many pickup games preferring to play five against four rather than have him come off the bench.

He is a native of Newnan and Coweta County Georgia, growing up in the small cotton mill of Sargent, Georgia. He and his wife Felicity live in Maryland. He is married to the amazing Felicity Bellis of Manchester, England, who has received many accolades for remaining with him all these years. Their daughter Sara and son Nicholas are grown and pursuing their own careers.

I'm sorry , but Mr Meadows cant write entertaining novels worth my time. I tried book 1 and this book 2, it's not getting better. Just plain boring. I'm having trouble believing he was a career Naval officer, unless he was just some desk jockey. This stuff is pure drivel.

I thought it was a good book. The author kept me wanting to know more. It had lots of action and it's about the military. I like that the US is fighting terrorisum in the book. All in all it was a very good book.

A book set in today's America with characters from WWII (they're not supposed to be, they just are). Seriously, what time warp is going on in this book?
