Review: much more than an action novel
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 3, 2013
Although the action is crisp and exciting, I was a bit disappointed after the opening sequence. There is a quite lengthy interlude of politics and in-fighting before it gets to the action again. All of which though interesting, became somewhat boring as each character repeated the same information as they were introduced into the story line. Also every single detail, acronym was explained ad nauseum as well  as an abundance of naval history was explained. So much so that it was at times overwhelming. A good book but the author seemed to be trying a little too hard.
