Why? I'm a wannabe Coastie in the worst way. Failed to get into the Academy, now I'm planning on trying OCS. I'm fascinated by the Coast Guard, so one day I started looking for books on it. The ONLY fiction book I could find featuring the Coast Guard in a major way in the modern day was Blindfold Game (okay, so I found Prepared for Rage, too, but my library didn't have it). And I loved it, mostly because of the Coast Guard, yes, but who knows? Maybe I'll get back into thrillers and mysteries. Of course, now I want to be a Coastie even more, and since my college isn't eligible for CSPI I have to wait another three years, but what the hell. So yes, a very effective recruiting poster of a book, and blog. I just wanted to say thanks.

I'd take the book back to Barnes & Noble and demand another copy or a refund, pronto. I'm glad you enjoyed it up to the point where the rest of the book disappeared. I'm so sorry.

This hardcover copy ended four pages into chapter 22 on page 228. An internet search seems to suggest the book has more like 272 pages. My copy ended just as hugh and crew are coming on to the Star of Bali. Could this be correct? I loved it up till that point and will look for more sam I picked up Blindfold game in a barns & Noble and just loved it until it came to an abrupt end that didn’t seem to fit.

I remember you were headed for a 110 out of Eureka, I hope it was a blast (the captain certainly seemed envious). Hawaii, huh. Tough duty. Glad you enjoyed Blindfold Game. Next one is Prepared for Rage, out in February. Yes, the Munro patrol was another incredible experience, and you might even recognize another character. Or several. How great to hear from you, Chris!

Great reading for me, and it seems like another great CG experience for you. I loved Blindfold Game, and had a good laugh picking out the different traits in your characters. After the patrol you came on the Alex Haley, I ended up commanding a patrol boat called Dorado in California for two years, and am now a Search and Rescue controller in Honolulu. Looking forward to your next book!
