Picked up Dangerous Ground at the library the other day and finished it already. A very good read and as Bill said it's like a breath of fresh air.
If you haven't read it do yourself a favour and do so. |

Dangerous Ground is out in paperback now. Just picked it up and read the 1st 150 pages. Very good so far. I recomend it to everyone.

Quick question. What’s an ‘NAE Beacon’? Saw it mentioned on Pg. 393.

"NAE Bacon" - A British Royal Naval term typically used when profligate use of ships stores results in a shortfall in beacons available for deployment. e.g. Skipper: "Release a beacon on my mark, ensign." Ensign: "Sir. I canna do it, we hae NAE Beacons left!"

I just purchased a copy and am reading it. I found the beginning a bit tough only because I was getting mad at the characters in the book (once you read it you will know what I mean). Are there really types like "Hardy" then command submarines? I mean you'd think the morale issues alone would catch you up at some point. Or perhaps not.

There are countless Hardys in the world. They aren't great for morale, but many of them exist. At least Hardy had some morales and some sense of humor...
If you really wanna get pissed at someone of that personality type in fiction, try Vann in Robin White's Typhoon. Now that's an *sshole. |
