I never this was the third book in the series. I put Garrett above Gordon Kent's Alan Craik and Poyer's Dan Lenson. She is prepared to rewrite the rules to suit the situation. I see her getting on with Alex Hopper (see the movie 'Battleship'). I must track this series down.

Book Review - Seafighter by James Cobb.

This is one of my favourite naval thriller books.
I've read this book so often that I actually had to replace my paperback copy with a hardback copy as it feel apart.
I never get bored of reading this book and the other books in this set.
James Cobb writes a believable story with amazing characters.
I 100% recommend this book to anyone who likes naval thrillers.

First, if you are looking for the further adventures of the USS Cunningham, the super stealth destroyer, this isn't it. All you get is Amanda G. in more daring escapades.

Character development and interaction isn't this books strong suit. Other than the interesting premise of using modified hovercraft as modern day PT Boats, everything feels tired and flat. Amanda seems to be upping the ante on extreme military conduct, something that wouldn't feel right in the US Navy as it is seen today.

I liked the first, as it was focused on how a single ship & crew with modern capabilities could turn back a last generation navy. The second extended it, though with wisps of outlandishness. The third now wants to make it about the people, but really it was about the ship previously.
