Publisher's summary

Wilson shot a glance over his right shoulder at San Ramon. In addition to the blinking of anti-aircraft artillery guns, he could see clouds of smoke on the field from the numerous Slash hits. Breathing through his mouth, he concentrated on getting fast and maintaining a slight climb. Bright fireballs of AAA shot by him in groups of three and four, orderly trails from low to high. His body was tense, ready for impact. He felt and heard the thud behind, on his right. Terrified, he twisted his body in the ejection seat to see what he could, pushing his helmet and goggles with his left hand to see over his wing. Through the narrow field of view of the goggles, he sensed flickering behind him. He then felt the airplane yaw right. Both were signs he had lost thrust on the right side. Sonofabitch!

chill with the religion

As someone whos served in the navy the sheer colume of prayer and religion is overboard. In my 8 years on navy vessels there are far more nonreligious people then religious. The evening prayers aboard are loathed by all and quite annoying. The other problem is how wilson talks about the enlisted personnel like there some cheery go lucky group always happy to serve is completely off the mark. Goes to show the disconnect officers have of actual enlisted duties. In truth they loath the officers and all the luxuries they're offered and quite often have to deal with stupidity on extreme levels when dealing with them. Also, any catholic priest sent to the jungle of south America would have been sent there for molesting children, you know, like they actually do in real life.

Declared Hostile - fantastic.

Declared Hostile was even better than Raven One! Colorful characters, well developed. Put me on the edge of my seat a lot. Combat scenes made me feel like I was in the cockpit!

Great follow up to Raven One. You should read this book.

A great read!

I found this book to be very well written. Declared hostel is well researched, and the characters are quite believable, as is the story itself. This would be a great story for anyone who is interested in military action novels, or related genres.

Policeman to the world

I can see how this story could be true. It could happen just as depicted. In fact many times I wondered if it was? I enjoyed the novel and will be waiting for another one from Capt Miller. I also enjoy his appearances with Ward Carol on YouTube. Much respect! “Hoser”

CAPT Miller Connects the Dots for Naval Aviator’s Family Members

I Loved this! My son is a 1C/senior at USNA and will be headed for Pensacola this fall. I knew the day we got the call on Service Selection day that my husband and I need to learn the vocabulary and unit structures of Naval Aviation. I want our son to be able to talk to us easily about his day-to-day life. I’ve spent my entire career in healthcare and have seen the difference it makes when physicians can talk to me about a challenge, heartbreak, or win in their work without stopping to translate terms or context. Thank you, CAPT Miller, for giving us the first tools for understanding squadron environment! I never expected this homework to be so fun!

Awesome story!

Amazing story!!

Narrator could have been coached on military jargon better. Broke immersion everytime he spelled out an acronym instead of saying it.

Another excellent military thriller

A great read if limited in scope. The book touches on some ancillary topics but focuses mainly on events surrounding carrier operations and it's personnel. It would have been a better read if additional political aspects were addressed such as details on the Venezuelan government or the US congress which was apparently in recess while an undeclared war was prosecuted.

Still, Capt MIller is a master story teller and I enjoyed the book very much, particularly the detailed technical descriptions of carrier operations and aircraft.

Absolutely excellent!

Kevin Miller’s best work yet! Incredible story, carrying the credibility of a retired Captain as the author. Compelling characters and complex character development, moral questions, leadership, service, and a thought provoking ending.
