" A fun and exciting read. This is Newt and William's sequel to the also very enjoyable Pearl Harbor. That book was mostly setup,dealing with American,British,and especially Japanese culture,attitudes,stratigies,and aims in the run up to the Pearl Harbor attack of Dec 7 1941. This book is about the naval and air battles that took place after the attacks in this altered timeline. The action is intense and very believable,and since we are dealing with events that differ from what happened in our history you have no idea how things are going to turn out. Makes it a real page turner. I guess my only grip,and it is a minor,is that near the end the book falls into the trap of some very predictable sentimentality that I could have done without. Worth a read for all fans of World War II combat. I hope they continue the series and show how they think the rest of the war would have developed from the point at which they leave it here. "
