Thunder and Storm: The
Haverfield Incident
By
Rick
Ainsworth
(498 pages)
Reviewer: Dr. V.H.
Schumacher
Overall Rating: Four
Stars: Highly recommended. If
there was a 10 star rating, I
would have used it for this
wonderful book.
Have you ever
read a book that you wished
never ended? if not, here is
your chance. I cannot say enough
good things about Mr.
Ainsworth's book. The story line
works very well. The characters
are real. Several reminded me of
former shipmates. The events
will stir the memory of every
destroyer sailor who ever lived.
If you have experienced the
transformation from Polly Wog to
Shell Back, you will relive
every single aspect of that
one-of-a-kind ceremony. if you
felt the power of great storms,
no matter the location, you will
feel the salt spray and the roll
of the ship. If you have sat on
the O-4 deck on a clear night
and wondered at the heavens, you
will see that sight in your
mind's eye once more. Reviewing
this book has been a trip back
through time and a truly
wonderful experience. You will
not be able to put it down and
you too will wish for more.
