Best of 5

Maelstrom was the best book of the series, he jumped right into the intense action that makes his books great from the begining. Book 5 is filled with intense Air Combat Manuvers and thrilling surface ship battles.

Modern combat at its finest.

I've only read the first five Carrier books, but of those five this is probably the best. Douglas really goes at a blistering pace on this one. Maybe it's because he's already fleshed out the characters in his earlier stories, and thus can jump straight into the action. "Maelstrom" is one of the those books best read in two or three sittings. Intense, hard-hitting, suspensful.

SUPERB!!!

Salute to Keith Douglass. The book is superbly written and it leaves me out of breath after reading the action-packed, fast-paced story. This book is the sole reason that keeps me looking for more of Keith Douglass actions.
