review 1: The Sea Witch by Stephen Coonts. I remember reading one of Stephen Coonts' first novels. It was set in Vietnam and it was a pretty good book. I've since moved to other works but I saw this (the cover is great) and I was interested in reading some of his shorter efforts. This book is collection of three "novellas" but who cares about labels. I liked "The 17th Day" the best, and "Al-Jihad," the least. But, he stretched his wings, so to speak, and I like that always. As Coonts says in the intro, "Airplanes, adventures, life and death in the skies...Come on, strap in and we'll go flying." Sign me up!
review 2: I've never read Stephen Coonts before, even after years spent shelving him at the library where I work. Picked up this paperback on a day trip and thoroughly
... more enjoyed it. Out of the three tales, the first two -- both historic fiction -- were great fun. The third and last, a modern day adventure, wasn't as exciting and I found the main character excessively whiny. But it was good, too. Bottom line, if you like tales of aerial combat from World War I and II, with a dash of modern ground combat thrown in, this is for you. less
