Rating: Summary: Best One of the Series! Review: Definitly the first one to read, if not the only one. Action packed and really good at keeping the pages turning. The scenario is more interesting then his books with conflicts against the "Big Bad Russkies". Douglass has more depth in both the American and Indian characters in the novel and is very descriptive in the weapons systems and tactics. The battle scenes are exciting. A couple of surprises here and there. Most of the action happens in the foreground except for at the end when some seemingly major events happen with a "by-the-way" attitude with an after the fact account. (An entire carrier battle group sunk!) After this book Douglass seems to sleep through the rest of the series as they turn VERY predictable and cliche with lots indestructable heros that never seem to run out of ammo or bad jockular dialogue. Tombstone Magruder must must think he's in the wrong place at the wrong time every single time the U.S. Navy fires a shot. Why doesn't he retire? Read this one though.

Rating: Summary: The best of the Carrier series I have read. Review: I had the chance to read this book first, for me it was the first in the series and let me tell you it`s the best for the action and the story. You can predict the outcome but not the way things will happen. It should be the first one you should buy in the series.
