The Lost Fleet: Valiant
The Lost Fleet: Valiant

Review:This is a great entry in Jack Campbell's series. It delves a bit more into the increased intrigue (and boy, is there a lot of it this time 'round) and machinations of fleet politics and is a little lighter on the battles than the first few books but that doesn't mean it doesn't stand up to its predecessors in every respect.

The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier: Leviathan

Review:It was an interesting continuation of The Lost Fleet saga. As much as you want things to change the more they remain the same. Politics, personal vendettas, history repeats itself. If you are to busy taking about a problem rather than handling it, it will turn into a bigger problem that you might not be able to correct. Don't try to talk a problem to death take the bull by the horns and solve it - don't try to be politically correct. Read more

Aboard the German Submarine U-124 in World War II

Review:Incredible adventures. From the movie ads boot, this adds additional details of what really happened and how dense the US Navy was on defeating the threat. I would think that turning off the lights after an attack would the least that could be taken. Read more

Review:On the grounds of the US Naval Academy in Annapolis stands a huge statue of Jesse Brown. Until now, I never understood the significance of the statute or his accomplishments.

Each of these stories reach out to us in today's world to tell us there is a cost for freedom and liberty, ideals no longer taught in schools and universities. To read these individual journeys transcends time and distance and brings alive t... Read more
