You have to suspend belief to listen to this story.
While there are some interesting characters and exciting parts, to get to them, you have to slog through some very boring backstories.
The Commodore was over the top. I doubt he would have been given the command of anything, much less an amphibious task force.
Spoiler alert; the main character b*** s****s his way onto a Navy helo to fly to Syria to rescue his wife and daughter, deserting his ship in wartime, arriving unarmed, and kills the PLO terrorist leader with a piece of rebar. If I hadn’t been driving, I’d have hit stop.
Save your money.
