I found this to be an excellent novel and having served aboard the USS Haverfied during this same time period I found it to be a personal time machine for myself. Well done Rick!!

My first thought was there are too many books dredging up the past. President Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Bobbie, Vietnam. I had promised myself no more dredging and frying my brain. Then I ASSUMED this must be a light read and started reading and, OH SHIT! I can't read much at a sitting as it is ripping my heart out.

I served in four Coast Guard ships, three destroyer sized and one smaller. From 1966 to 1968 one of my ships was home ported in Guam and sailed the same waters and performed very similar duties to those of the USS Haverfield.

Hard to believe this is a first time novel by Mr. Rick Ainsworth. Fastidiously detailed, historically accurate, fast paced & compelling story; makes one wonder if this is not truly a recollective documentational rendering. Regardless, this is a must read, impossible to put down, and leaves one hungering for more. If this is an example of RA's storytelling abilities, I for one am hooked, and anxiously await his next effort.
