This sequel to Ark Royal picks up about six months after the first book. The situation is just as dire and the characters have to continue to overcome tremendous obstacles. The international political situation is explored more and really fleshed out as naval officers from the other earth powers are introduced. We find out a bit more about the aliens as both side adapt and change from their last encounter.Now Admiral Smith deals with not being in command of Ark Royal and becomes accustomed to his new job as commander of an entire fleet. We see more brilliant tactical maneuvers and close shaves from him in this sequel.Christopher Nuttall once again delivers an enjoyable sci-fi story that is engaging and hard to put down. If you liked Ark Royal you will love The Nelson Touch.
