Away Boarders
The idea of détente with the Soviets has not yet filtered down to Boatswain’s Mate First Class Fatso Giononni, who has skippered his scow-like landing craft through two other novels by Admiral Gallery. This one finds Captain Fatso and his boys on duty in the Med, where they play chicken with Russian cruisers, and do other mean nautical things.
The climactic caper involves an American-made gunboat being transshipped to Egypt by way of Soviet headquarters. What happens on the high seas is a mixture of ingenious peacetime battle action, garnished with the author’s salt-encrusted observations on the state of the world.
Stand By-y-y To Start Engines
Twelve stories of giant practical jokes or tricky maneuvers played by various officers of the Navy – a Blue Angel pilot, a bright young Ensign, and various competitive Admirals – on other members of their service, the Army, and gentlemen of the press.
Cap’n Fatso
Chief Boatswain’s Mate ‘Fatso’ Gioninni finally has command of his own vessel as he cruises around the Med getting into mischief and tweaking the noses of the Russian Navy. Through mischance, he and his landing craft are left behind when his Carrier Task Force get sailing orders. Fully provisioned, Fatso and his crew of like-minded free spirits take their own version of a Mediterranian Cruise (after first disguising their craft so that nothing can come home to roost). This is a fine example of Gallery’s light-hearted touch at the helm for all who have enjoyed his sea-stories before or for someone who has never read him before!
