Haven't finished it yet.

Just recieved U.S.S. Cyclops, Volume II, by Marvin W. Barrash.
I've had Volume I since it came out. That is a Hardback costing $150+.
Volume II was just under $50 and is not hardback.

Reading some 90s military fiction

The North Korean navy has captured a US intelligence ship in international waters, and has begun to execute the crew, one by one. The US response is a megaforce of the battle group led by supercarrier "Thomas Jefferson". A Soviet ship is in the line of fire; World War III is a pilot's error away.
