Crew of carrier "Jefferson" vs. Russia

What I really enjoyed about this chapter in the "Carrier" series is that it takes place in a narrative, so we "hear" what the characters are thinking. It's great to finally see what happens to Tombstone's father. The fact Keith Douglass is a Navy veteran helps give credibility to the military confrontations, and this is no different. I just wish there had been more of them! I'm glad he provided a glossary for the different terms used through the book. I'm eagerly waiting the next chapter!

Good, but I don't care for the new format.

Another good installment of the Carrier series with some of the same characters. Action and suspense was good. Added some political intrigue in this one.This was the first I read with the new first person format. I don't really care for this stlye and much prefer the location/scene style of prior books.
