Description
An aircraft carrier adrift with a crew the size of a small town. A killer in their midst. And the disgraced Navy SEAL who must track him down . . .

A BARRY AWARD NOMINEE • “Sensationally good—an instant classic, maybe an instant legend.”—Lee Child
The moment Navy SEAL sniper Finn sets foot on the USS Abraham Lincolnto hitch a ride home from the Persian Gulf, it’s clear something is deeply wrong. Leadership is weak. Morale is low. And when crew members start disappearing one by one, what at first seems like a random string of suicides soon reveals something far more sinister: There’s a serial killer on board. Suspicion falls on Finn, the newcomer to the ship. After all, he’s being sent home in disgrace, recalled from the field under the dark cloud of a mission gone horribly wrong. He’s also a lone wolf, haunted by gaps in his memory and the elusive sense that something he missed may have contributed to civilian deaths on his last assignment. Finding the killer offers a chance at redemption . . . if he can stay alive long enough to prove it isn’t him.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Reviews
Very suspenseful
4By Blabba the nutA different kind of military thriller. I enjoyed the originality of the plot. It was hard to put down. A lot of unnecessary cursing and cruelty though, and thus the lack of 5 stars. Still, overall, I would recommend.Steel fear
5By Bavarian HillbillyVery well written. Not like the super action books of many authors but with a great story line that keeps you wanting to read one more chapter.Well, this was an excellent first novel!
5By GibHoxieShades of Reacher, but much more single hero versus a Queeg-like officer on a modern aircraft carrier.Breathless
4By AtomicCougWhile the Child blurb is a bit breathless this was a fun read. I look forward to more from these authors.Verbose
2By russ kramTo long Very confusing Poor endingOutstanding!!!!
5By charlie knucklesI was lucky to receive an ARC and boy did this not disappoint. Finished in under 2 days. Enjoyed learning all about the inner workings of an Carrier. Plot was fantastic and the hero is not typical Big,strong,bearded SEAL but I found him immensely fascinating. Other characters were all fine,y developed. Plot kept me glued to the book. I’ve real a lot of the stuff from these guys and they knocked it outtA the park with this one. Hope to read more. Well done gentlemen, 9.0/10Steel fear
3By dougschultz1956A good read with nice character development and a fast moving plot. I didn’t mind the abundance of cuss words, but the authors used Christ’s name in vain unnecessarily several times. Otherwise, I would have recommended it to friends.Stunning
5By I. SnippettIncredibly exciting detail of carrier/ SEAL life “turmoiled”by one super smart killer.
