Book Review of Flight of the Intruder

Flight of the Intruder
gourdhedd avatar reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


The first of the Jake Grafton series, this story finds Jake on a carrier off the coast of Vietnam. Jake begins to question the ethics and morals of the war, is frustrated with the tasks he is assigned.

Lots of action about carrier based aviation and a close look at the workings of a US Navy carrier operation.

Jake also meets Callie, his future wife, while on leave, but the book ends inconclusively about his future with her. Stephen Coontz really knows how to set the hook.
