An aircraft killer thriller…when the being in the middle of the Pacific Ocean means there’s nowhere to run…

Steel Fear: A Thriller by Brandon Tyler Webb and John David Mann is a tense murder mystery documenting life aboard an aicraft carrier shared by thousands of personnel…

The first hundred pages or so of this book are probably the most interesting as it shows activities aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln with two POV characters…one a long time crewman and the other a new temporary arrival…as they view the ship and its crew from different perspectives…

Unfortunately, things don’t remain so business as usual…as two suicide lead to suspicion that someone is murdering members of the crew and covering it up.

The story was pretty tense as you start to wonder who it might be and why…and a partial map of the aircraft carrier is provided.

While the killer is eventually revealed…I was dissatisfied by the limited resolution on the why…but I still had a good time until that unsatisfying resolution…

For those interested in Tom Clancy, Lee Child, or Rick Campbell type stories…
