Don Keith recommends

Rescue Run (2025)
(Peggy C Saga, book 2)
John Winn Miller
"Like a vicious storm at sea or a surprise attack by a relentless enemy, this story starts with a bang and never lets up. As he did in his previous novel, The Hunt for the Peggy C, John Winn Miller effectively captures the cruelty and tension of war on both a grand scale and at a strikingly personal level. Accurate history entertainingly told as breathtaking adventure!"

Command and Control (2022)
(Command and Control , book 1)
David Bruns and J R Olson
"These two guys have lived it. Now they're writing it. Taut, tense, and totally believable, you will be dropped into the midst of a world with which few of us are familiar. A fine thriller indeed."

When Heroes Flew (2020)
(When Heroes Flew, book 1)
H W 'Buzz' Bernard
"Strap in! It's one hell of a ride!"
