Crisis and the Withdrawal From Saigon

The continuing high quality of the series is nearing its denoument in the Fleet book 6 CRISIS. Having other authors play in your universe is always difficult, and I find the authors and editing top be consistent and of high quality. The authors write a story like Drake, in his universe, but from a different viewpoint. I have read other series done like this and have often been disappointed, but not here. The book really sets you up for a book 7 to tie up the loose ends and bring the Fleet into direct conflict with the Families. It has reminiscences of the fall of Saigon and the evacuation in 75. To have fought in that conflict and find the allies falling to the wayside as the enemy becomes victorious is part of the message I get from the endgame. Especially with the Headhunters and Redhorse. To all my fallen comrades, I salute you. The elements of humor are interesting as well in keeping with what people in a combat zone or highly stressful profession use to deal with it. Yes, we do find things like that funny or accept them as normal. I recommend the book as well as the series.
