4.0 out of 5 stars The Corydon Snow
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2010

The Corydon Snow  is a terrific book. The novel takes you into the middle of the Pacific War. The characters are very real and the action teaches you a great deal about many little known battles. Highly recommended for war buffs and for a general interest audience. Excellently written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars for the US Merchant Marines
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2017
Verified Purchase
This was an excellent book, well-written, as I have found to be the case with novels written by Richard Whitten Barnes. Among the storyline with its interesting cast of characters, I was able to reap out the grains of the true challenges and missions of the US Merchant Marine. They weren't just a transport service. They were often at the mercy of the US Navy as orders were given, orders were changed and demands to sail into the thick of battle were issued. For, when the "front" was moved as the islands of the Pacific were conquered, the US Merchant Marine were required to load, haul and unload the infrastructure of the military bases and command centers to the new front.

I enjoyed the array of characters in this book, from the responsible, to the whacko, to those who were there under duress because their alternative had been to go to prison. As usual, the characters were engaging in and of themselves, which enhanced the plot. Even the young Japanese pilot, Naoki Tamuro, was a sympathetic character even though he was the enemy.

I recommend this book not only because it is an interesting and engaging story, but because it will help give the reader a much better understanding of the challenges of the US Merchant Marine service, the US Navy role in protecting them, and the degree of danger they worked in as they transported goods for the military services during World War II.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great read
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2010
I loved this book! Initially I thought it would be a mans book since it was about the Merchant Marines during WWII but I was definitely wrong. Not only was I fascinated to learn the makeup of the Merchant Marines and enjoyed following the outcome of the assignments given to the ship and crew, I was thoroughly engrossed in the plot and characters. This is a great read and I can hardly wait for the movie.
