I'm just about finished with Richard O'Kane's Wahoo, and while it's interesting in places, and I commend Mr. O'Kane for his mad Executive Officering skillz, writing was not his strong suit. Every torpedo launches with a "zing," every attack is described in virtually the same manner, and if my Kindle word search is to believed, he refers to the General Quarters alarm as the "Bells of St. Mary's" 29 times during the book!
Of my new Kindle books, I still have to read Pearl Harbor: Strategy, Combat, Myths, Deceptions, and Steel Boat, Iron Hearts. Also, I just downloaded Black Hawk Down for $2.99, so if you've never read it, and own a Kindle, I'd suggest now would be a good time to do so, before the publisher jacks up the price.
