Summary: Fantastic!
Review: David Meadows continues to get better and better with his unique stories. I have become such a fan! "Liberia (Joint Task Force, 1," is one terrific story. I was hooked from the first page and was sad when the story ended. The characters are great and the plot a real page-turner! If you like edge of your seat fiction, that is fast-paced, and exciting, this is the book to top! (Higly Recommended Novel!)

Summary: A Well Thought Out Page-Turner
Review: David Meadows is a fine emerging author of action-military stories with interesting twists. His books are useful to stretch your mind and connect events and ideas that you would not automatically have put in the same category.
In this volume from his Joint Task Force series, a group of Americans have spent the last few years building a settlement in Liberia and are trying to retire to a community that would help their ancestral land while allowing them to enjoy life when a group of Islamic fanatics begin taking over Liberia and killing all the Americans. Among the retired Americans is an African American General with strong combat experience and his top sergeant. Meanwhile, off the American coast, a Navy-Marine Joint Task Force is experimenting with a new generation of experimental unmanned fighter aircraft (think predators but much more agile) when it is assigned the immediate challenge of rescuing the Americans in Liberia before the marauding Islamists massacre them. Additionally, the French have decided to intervene with a stronger Naval force and since no American aircraft carrier is in the area, think they will have the dominant force necessary to humiliate the Americans.
The interspersing of Americans trying to survive in Liberia, fighter experimentation at the cutting edge, a tense standoff with an 'ally' and the Navy-Marine determination to save their fellow citizens makes for a consistently interesting read.
Simply stated, Meadows will have you turning pages and thinking new thoughts.

Summary: Hands down the best military fiction writer out there today
Review: David Meadows is clearly the Tom Clancy of the new century. His knowledge of the Sixth Fleet and the countries of the Med is clearly evident on every page! Moreover, his characters are realistic three dimensional folks that draw you into the story. I am a Navy Reservist and I found these books impossible to put down. I highly recommend Liberia and his previous Sixth Fleet series to anyone who likes a great, action packed military story!

Summary: Joint Task Force: Liberia
Review: Having enjoyed Captain Meadows first series "Sixth Fleet" I was eager for this new series to be released. I wasn't disappointed. The book grabs you from the very first page and doesn't let go till the last. The plot flows through action on land to comic relief on a Naval ship.
Captain Meadows has served on a variety of ships and his expertise shows. Especially to ex- sailors such as myself who have been there. I am again anxiously awaiting January for the next adventure.

Summary: the spook is on the loose, tom clancy better hide
Review: I can die now, the Naval Security Group has fictional heroes other than "Vietnam Spook Show." (Thank you Wayne Care) David Meadows was good in his first series, but he's gone from a scribbler of books to a WRITER OF NOVELS with this book. He has vaulted into the top tier of military fiction authors with this book. His ear for dialogue is unsurpassed. Having spent a few hours around flag officers and more time than I wish to admit on skimmers, Meadows has the flavor nailed down. I could taste the stack gas and hear the roar of the turbines on the flight deck. His understanding of the bond between warriors is keen and the characters are well developed. The action flows fast and the [non-essential] is an absolute minimum. Best of all, no gratitutious sex scenes (see his web site for the reason for that.) that would be an embarrasment to the USN. ... I can't wait for January and the next installment. It's a joy to have a new author I hunger for when I go to the store. Kudos to Meadows. Igor rules!
