FINAL BEARING has all the elements of suspense, action, and military hardware, but the authors do a good job of convincing us this is real stuff. They put the reader in the middle of the action and describe the technology in a believable way without trying to tell us how to build a submarine from scratch! On the negative side, there are so many story lines and characters, the reader could lose his place if he puts the book aside for a few days, but the plot and action are good enough to keep that from happening, I think. By the way, the descriptions of the HALO jump and the run up Puget Sound by Spadefish are absolutely gripping.

Their combination of writing talent and real world experience produced an adventure tale that had my heart pounding and my fingers turning the pages in anticipation. There are drug terrorists to hate, brave men to pull for, victims to fear for, and the future of our country riding on the outcome. The writing style and the authentic details give you a story world you can really experience. There are no cardboard characters here, no would-be adventurers. This is the real thing. After reading this book I feel like I've been there and done it. And I'm ready for the next mission, Commander. Just let me get myself in shape first. -- Charles Connor, Director of the Harriette Austin Writing Program, The University of Georgia.

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Review - Final Bearing by G. Wallace Review: This is a good read. The plot continues through several characters to culminate into the final riviting scenes. There is enough technical information to keep the interest of those who truly understand those elements, but that same information does not interfere with the enjoyment of the story for those less technically knowledgeable. In fact, I learned a great deal of the atmosphere surrounding the lives of our brave military personel by reading this book. The story deals with the good/evil struggles of our lives here on this planet through the actions of our military and the underbelly of society from which they protect us. I do recommend this book.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: White-knuckled reading Review: Wallace and Keith manage to take the action from the jungles of South America to the streets of Seattle without missing a beat, but the best scenes take place within the confines of the submarine. Never has the pressure, camraderie, and very real danger of daily life on a sub been conveyed so fondly and so well. You don't have to be a submariner or even a fan of this genre to find this book thoroughly engrossing.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Well worth the read Review: Wallace and Keith spin a dandy tale of submarines, Navy SEALs and cocaine, with a Chinese connection. This genre clearly hasn't been exhausted. The action moves along briskly, accompanied by lush descriptions of the Columbian interior and keen insights into life aboard an aging sub whose crew is determined to finish one last mission, as can be told only by one who's been there. A great first book by this team--can't wait to see the next one!
