Customer Reviews

Good plot, good characters add up to a great read!

Lt.Mike Stuart is a very real,and great character. He is faced with a tough boss, and a seemingly inexplicable puzzle which threatens first his career, and later his life. He triumphs by showing his true courage and strength of spirit. His love interest is a very real person, and is not the usual 'perfect woman'. Oil politics, Cuban politics, and Washington politics add up to a really good read.

A good read!

Lt.Col. Mike Stuart is a desk-jockey tediously toiling in his office until he notices an unusual pattern of oil tanker movements flickering across his monitor.An ordinary man in his ordinary life, Mike Stuart does what he's told & informs his superiors of his findings. Nothing comes of it until, seemingly randomly, he becomes accident-prone. It's only when his ex-wife & her lover are killed while driving his car that it dawns on him he just might have been the target.I felt the author really understood the subject & found myself not only enjoying, but wanting to participate in the flying scenes. I like the imperfections of his characters & the growth he allowed his characters to have as the story progressed.When I finished the The Trojan Sea I shut the cover with a thump & said: "Yeah! A good read!" Will I hunt up a Richard Herman in the future? Absolutely! Good reads with a good pace & a good story are far & few between. This one leaves your satisfaction quotient on high, when all is read & done!
