Marsh, Mick, and Tommy were inseparable friends during their naval academy years, each man desperately in love with the beautiful, unattainable Glory Hawthorne.

A new standard in historical fiction

Great and human characters, bigger than life heroism and failure. Most of all an indomitable human spirit on display. A great read for fans of historical fiction or naval history.

I’ll try one more of his books.

I enjoyed half of the book. The whole romance and gratuitous sex descriptions could have been left out as they were, at best, a distraction. The battle descriptions were engaging.

Pacific Glory

Great story and character building. Enjoyed how the author paralleled real events and brought realism to the narrative. Anxious to read another of his books!!
