pickThis is a sturdy novel about a Cold War destroyer captain who plays too close to the edge in games with a Soviet sub. A jaded rapscallion of a press liaison is on hand as the audience surrogate, watching with suspicion as the captain‘s fanatical (and also surprisingly complex) nature is slowly revealed and the crew is amped up to a state of constant tension. Definite Caine Mutiny vibes with a touch of nuclear war…I mean, warning.
I head off today since I worked all last weekend, so it seemed like the perfect time to wander downtown and splurge with some new books and iced jasmine tea! 💕📚
pickStandard Helprin excellence.
When the Cold War goes hot the world suffers. Turtledove pulls no punches. I‘m looking forward to continuing this trilogy. Finished Jun 30, 2023.

Thank you @PuddleJumper and all our hosts for a really fun #Scarathlon2023!!! Though I fell short of my goals this year, you all made it a daily blast with your posts, memes, adding to my TBR list, and in general, being the best community on social media. 🫶🏻
New series of Dr. Who starts in November, so I have my favourite doctor in the background 🤣
