Hornet's Nest
Out of the frying pan, into the Persian Gulf ...
Sweetwater and Sundance were the hottest Top Gun flyboys in the Navy - always ready to hit the skies and raise a little hell. But the Persian Gulf gave new meaning to the word "hell." Now on a top secret mission, Sweetwater and company are out to capture Iranian ships laying mines in the gulf. With F/A 18 Hornets - and more guts than firepower - these boys mean business. They're the Navy's best, taking on the worst job of their careers. Sweetwater's always liked a challenge ... This time, he's got it.

Some good naval aviation action, but an anticlimactic ending.
Romance in the story seemed forced and awkward, when in fact it could have been skipped completely. Strong start, weak finish!

I bought this in the US years ago on a biz trip when I was into Technothrillers as I think they were called. Thought it would be up there with Coonts, Brown and Clancy but it is not. The author's pitch is closer to non-fiction in style and content which may suit some but not me. In fact I did not see much of a real plot it seemed to be more of a series of expositions on the various parts of a naval aviator's doings, take offs, landings, tanking, recce, bombing and whatnot within some camaraderie and token physical relationship when ashore, a sort of revved up Top Gun the movie for Hornets pilots. Plus I found the language crude and the "hero" name irritating not least for its over frequent use. On the plus side it is detailed and yet short so you can read it in a weekend not a week.

Busy days
Interesting story describing life on a carrier out on patrol. The activity of an average day is interesting and amazing as portrayed in the story.

As usual good.
Didn't loose much sleep over this one, but it does move right along. Seems once again Kindle needs to work on their spelling.
