The Mayor of Successive Miracles
Jack Grant is a total ass. He rises to fame as a MIG killer over the skies of Iraq and his success leads him to command the Navy's premier aerial combat school, TOPGUN. But, things go awry and the Navy sends him to the Pentagon. The TAILHOOK scandal nips at him. Jack survives a shoot-out with Saddam's thugs in the wilds of Iraq and is given command of a Navy air wing. He miraculously emerges as a hero from every tight spot. But Jack is haunted by his dying wife and by the growing realization that his is a terrible husband, selfish friend, lousy pilot, and an absolute fraud. Jack seeks answers and forgiveness and, just maybe, a final mission against Iran will provide both.

Great read
I found this book to be extremely entertaining and hard to put down once I got into it. I had the good fortune to serve with Ham Tallent as a JO and I am pleased to see that he is taking advantage of the creative ability that was evident early in his career. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys military based fiction.

Navy Story about the people.
Very well written story of the U S Navy people's and what makes them do what they do. The information is true to the story, and for a former Navy Guy the stuff that happens brought back good memories of being there ..... doing the stuff. A good read for all, but a great read for us who were there and know what is happening!!!

A great, can’t-put-down, read!
The flying narratives are exciting and obviously based on experience. The back story is revealing and maybe a little too close to the truth.
