Description
A man's duty...a woman's passion...The Edge of Honor cuts both ways. In this sweeping novel of the Vietnam War at sea and on the homefront, Lieutenant Brian Holcomb, smart, ambitious, honorable, and up for promotion, discovers that his ship--the USS John Bell Hood--hides a dangerous secret. What Brian does about it may end his career, or threaten the lives of hundreds. A fully-imagined tale of passion, adventure, and betrayal, The Edge of Honor features a cast of characters whose public vows show more and private motives drive the plot. show lessTags

This is a hard one to review. Obviously, the author is very knowledgeable but he has a hard time squeezing what he knows into a readable book. The shipboard detail is crisp and very believable. One feels as one is right there in Combat with the sailors doing their jobs. It is the human stories where the author is a bit clumsy. The fleshpots of Subic seem to be mandatory tellings but quite distasteful to the author. Despite everything, I will read more of this author.
endless information regarding Navy ship operations, story was predictable
