Summary: A twist in the midst of a series.
Comment: James H. Cobb's Latest offering of the life and actions of Amanda Garrett, takes a series of S-turns with this latest installment. The central character enjoyes a flirtation with a fantasy from her childhood days and takes a dip on the other side of the line, the darkside so to speak. Explored in the pages of this book is the question of what happens when a Officer and a Lady, sperated from her crew and command, offered the taste of forbidden fruit in the guise of childhood "crush", will she accept what is offered or be true to her calling. Those that say that Cobb's latest installment couldn't have been written by someone who truely knows the armed services give them selves away to be men, not able to put themselves in the place of a woman. Nor are they able to invision what might have to be done by a woman, to survive till rescue comes.
This is a worthy effort on the part of the author. I give it a 4 our of 5 stars because I felt that there was a bit of drag in places that could have been polished out by the author. I look forward to seeing more Amanda Garrett works in the near future!

Summary: Romance with the wrong pirate
Comment: In Target Lock, Amanda gets involved romantically with a modern day pirate, whom she helps capture (eventually). The suspense comes from not being sure which way she'll jump when the decision has to be made. This book is an interesting continuation of her story, but I'm still wondering WHEN she's going to notice that the Admiral is interested in her (I see echoes of Honor Harrington here).

Summary: Back to form...
Comment: Target Lock represents a return by Cobb to the form shown in Choosers of the Slain and Stormdragon. This is not to say that I didn't enjoy SeaFighter, it just felt a little longwinded and didn't have to same pace and drive as the earlier two. This one however had me hooked from beginning to end. I brought this when I was holidaying in London and wasted far to much of my valuable holiday time reading this book when I should've been out enjoying the uncharacteristicly(sic) English weather. As one of those Aussie obsessed with Bali (even moreso since the bombings) to have at least part of the story set there, just gave it that extra "umpf". The open ending of this story annoyed me no-end at the time and I eagerly await the conclusion.
