Oswald Knight _matiauctionhouse — This review covers all three of the “Navy” trilogy books. Judging by the amount of Goodreads reviews, I would consider this trilogy to be one of those “forgotten treasures”. I found all three to be extremely “readable”, meaning they kept me interested, I enjoyed getting to know the main characters, and they were nice, quick reads. They were published back in 1989-90 and I read the first and second books in the mid-90's. I hadn’t even realized there was a third book until I chanced across “On Station” in my favorite used book store this last weekend. Such was my memory and fondness for the first two that I immediately began reading the third and final book of the series. The author, Roger Jewett, as far as I know, never wrote another book. I am unsure if this was, perhaps, a pen name for a more established author but I can find nothing about him. He has no entry in Wikipedia and even though FantasticFiction.com lists him and these three books, there is no information about the author. All three books remind me a lot of W.E.B. Griffin’s book series, The Brotherhood of War and The Corps. They cover quite a bit of the 20th century naval history, stretching from the beginnings of World War II all the way through the end of the Vietnam conflict. It’s a family saga, or rather a saga of three families, all of them coming together because of war and their various roles within and around the US Navy. Lots of family drama through a couple of generations intermixed with naval adventure result in fun reads. Some of the characters yearn for advancement within Navy ranks while others shun the responsibility or, in the case of Vietnam, become spokesmen and women against the war. Inevitable conflicts are overcome by the strong emotional ties that can only come from people who experience warfare together. I really wish there were more books by this author. I would snatch them up for the fun reads they would surely be.

The story is fast paced and action packed, and the dialog between the characters is hilarious. I started with Some Girls Bite and couldn't stop reading. Twice Bitten is my favorite book of the series by far! We FINALLY get to see good Ethan and Merit action! I can't wait for Hard Bitten. May is just to far away.
