Here is a view from his web site:

"These books should be read by every senator and congressman in our
government so that the scenarios there-in do not become history."
--John Tegler, syndicated talk show host of "Capital Conversation."

"When Meadows' men set sail, it's sure to be a mission like no other."
--W.E.B. Griffin

"Rip-snorting, realistic action-adventure from a man who has been there. David Meadows is the real thing,"

--Stephen Coonts author of numerous bestsellers, including
Flight of the Intruder, Saucer, America, and Liberty.

"An absorbing, compelling look at America's future place in the world. It's
visionary, and scary. Great battle scenes, believable heroes, plus villains
you'll love to hate!"

-Joe Buff, bestselling author of Straits of Power, Tidal Rip, and Crush Depth.

"...right to the bridge, in the cockpit, into the thick of battle. Meadows is a military adventure writer who's been there, done it all, and knows the territory."
