    Currently reading "Dead or Alive" by Tom Clancy.

    Scars and Stripes is a great read. Navy Pilot who is shot down over Vietnam, captured and tortured for years and then released.

    Just finished "Traitor's Kiss", by Gerald Seymour.

    It's about a soviet naval captain who is caught giving secrets to the British, and the mission to save him. It's another excellent book by this author.

    if you like naval books, get the book "Big Red".

    It's a non-fiction book about the Ohio Class Nuke subs.

    Finished two books in a series "Pandora's Star" and "Judas Unchained", along with a prequel "Misspent Youth". Now reading another related novel "The Abyss Beyond Dreams", all the preceding by Peter F. Hamilton. On deck are "The Sea People" by S. M. Stirling, "Tigana" by Guy Gavriel Kay and some issues of "The Grantville Gazette" which are stories set in the "Ring of Fire" (1632) universe created by Eric Flint.

    you're welcome. I also mispoke. It's about the Trident class nuke subs, not Ohio.

    Trident is the missile system, not the sub class. According to the wiki, Tridents have been carried by three US sub classes including the Ohios, and one or more British sub classes.

    I just finished The Midnight Line, a Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child. I 'read' the audio book. It seemed a little overly long and drawn out but that may have been because of the narrator. Eleven CD's. Interesting story though. Reacher investigates what happened to a young woman, a West Point graduate who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and he journeys to the backcountry of Wyoming to deal with dangerous drug dealers to rescue the woman.
