Trade ReviewAircraft carriers, jet fighters and a crisis on the other side of the world. Who could ask for more? It takes an obscure corner of British military history and weaves a story as gripping as any Tom Clancy thriller. It's completely riveting -- Jeremy Clarkson
From the cockpit of a fighter jet to the violently pitching deck of an aircraft carrier at night, Rowland White combines pulse-pounding tension with riveting detail. If only all military history was written like this... -- Andy McNab
[A] page-turning thriller of a book... White's obvious passion infuses every page and is highly infectious, while the level of detail should send any budding Tom Clancy rushing to the bookshops -- James Holland * Daily Telegraph *
Reads like a Patrick Robinson or Tom Clancy novel...This is a cracking read * Navy News *
A gutsy, you-are-there true story that throbs with the sound and fury of carrier operations. Military history as it ought to be told -- Robert Gant
