Title: A good read, and a bit less rah-rah for Repugs than other Robinson Books
Review: The challenge I have with Patrick Robinson's books is that I absolutely cannot stand his childish political jabs. This book at least was not as bad in that regard, except that the most liberal character that was portrayed in a somewhat positive light got killed off. I am a liberal Democrat and I believe in a strong U.S. Navy, so I find Robinson's political posturing to be insulting - and it is unnecessarily and unfoundedly antagonistic. If I set aside Robinson's frankly idiotic political nonsense, then I usually enjoy the story and the details. I agree with some reviewers that Robinson can be a bit repetitive about some things - like who cares the 100th time about "buckshot" in coffee! But that is minor. Some characters are reasonably well developed and overall I enjoyed this particular book. It was a good read while at the beach.
