Review: Entertaining read....

It's apparent the author has never set foot on the deck of a warship to think that enlisted crew would be so argumentative or disrespectful of commissioned officers. By the way, what happened to the CHIEF Petty Officers? You know, those old salts who actually RUN a modern warship while the officers decide which direction to sail and fill out the paperwork.That criticism said, turn a blind eye to trashing centuries of naval tradition and command structure and be ready for a fast paced drama that does show an understanding of people, a talent for character development, fun (if all too familiar) plot, and imaginative technology without bogging down too much in trying to explain the technology. Save this tome for a day when nothing will interrupt your reading as you will NOT want to stop until it's finished."The Mote in God's Eye" it's not, but spend the three bucks, you won't regret it.To the author: Next book, call somebody from the Navy or Coast Guard to explain how ships are run.
