Climb aboard and strap yourself in -- this is one hell of a ride! -- James ManfordRelatively new to interplanetary power plays, Earth is being drawn into its first interstellar war. The year is 2170 and the US Space-Navy’s 3rd Fleet, having been deployed to the Auriga Star System, is under attack by a far more advanced— and far more ruthless— enemy, the Grish. As one warship after another falls victim to the powerful alien fleet, Commander Galvin Quintos, a young Senior Officer, never having been the least bit interested in having a command of his own, is suddenly thrust into the captain’s chair. It is only by sheer luck, along with a good measure of cagey smarts, that Quintos can save the USS Hamilton, the principal asset of the 3rd Fleet, an immense, battle-torn, dreadnaught.Then comes a message from Earth Command: Earth is under attack—Make haste, return to base. With untold thousands dead, the remnants of the fleet must make its way back home.Reviews:5.0 out of 5 stars The Navy’s Future in Space is Great!!As a former US Navy commander with years in submarines, I loved the way McGinnis captured the nuances of command and the stresses of taking over the reins of command during difficult times. Another very positive feature in this novel series that is not in many sci-fi books - believable and fleshed-out characters. The hero and those around him had personalities that played a part in the story. USS HAMILTON is a great read and I am continuing on with the series with great expectations.-Cdr DaveThrilling Ride / Great Military Scifi!I came back to write a review… I finished the three-book USS Hamilton series but I wanted to let other readers know that it was a great run. It was always interesting to see how the rabbits were going to be pulled out of the hat after one impossible situation after the other. Great fun. Recommended.-KC5.0 out of 5 stars The more I read, the better it gets.Not much to say except completely absorbed in the book, The USS Hamilton from beginning to end. The book started well, rose to heights, and ended on a very good note. Suspenseful and exciting character development without the usual death and rebirth or unacceptable probabilities of other bad authors. In contrast, this book was a home run. Loved every bit of it. If space opera / military sci-fi is a possibility read, then this is it.- RabUSS Hamilton by Mark Wayne McGinnis / Sensational reading.I was captivated from the very beginning to the end.Dramatic and realistic, if you can say that about science fiction.Personal and funny.I would recommend this to anyone wanting a good read.Even if you're not into space opera science fiction, this is still a fantastic book.I am about to download book 2 and read that as well.- Malcolm Sullivan5.0 out of 5 stars / So Much Fun!!Honestly, this is the most fun I had reading a space opera syfy book in a long time. Mind you I'm just a simple man with simple tastes though. It was an honest really fun read and I found myself sneaking away so I could see what was going to happen next. Needless to say, as soon as I finished this book I order the second. Great job keep it up and I look forward to other works.- Stacy SpringerRobert's Review / USS Hamilton, Ironhold Station.Truly awesome in word and deed. Captain Quintos and crew pull out all the stops and made it happen for Earth and the USS Hamilton. Nonstop action, excitement, and dueling Chronobots. What else could you ask for in a Military Sci-Fi thriller? I can't wait to get into the next book in the series. Thanks for a GoodRead.As always, MWM provides an excellent readKeeps your interest throughout the book. The storyline moves smoothly throughout. Characters, as usual, fit very well into the plot. USS Hamilton is a great adventure scifi.-Kindle Customer
