Who cares how well he writes? He murdered the "USS Wainwright" in that book, and I've never forgiven him!
Seriously, though, he truly is superior to most writers in the genre, although I can't say exactly why. After reading "Red Storm Rising" I bought several books by other authors, assuming they were his equal - and I was disappointed. RSR spoiled me big time.
