From the Philippines to the northern coast of Scotland, Chief Page encounters danger and adventure. This cold war adventure unfolds against the aftermath of the tumultuous Admiral Zumwalt years and the aftermath of the divisive Vietnam War. While navy leadership argues the regulation length and style of hair and while human relations experts form personnel policy, the Soviets and the Chinese continue to build their military forces and plan the destruction of Western Civilization. However, Chief Page refuses to be distracted by the constant barrage of nonsensical and insignificant personnel policies that occupy the time of the chain of command. Chief Page commits to fighting the evil that threatens the American way of life, even at the risk of his navy career.
Reader Reviews:
"Excellent to the max! Although fiction, this book should be required reading by all officers and enlisted men. Not only in the USN but the other branches also." - Ron Schwab, RMCS, USN Ret.
“Finished Chief Page last night. OUTSTANDING!!!! Probably your best yet my friend. Looking forward to Rig's next adventure.” - JOS, RMC, USN Ret.
"Mr. Ellis has once again written a suspenseful, page-turner spy story. An intricate plot, Mr. Ellis has put enough real fabric in his characters to make them believable. He effectively uses details to allow the reader to visualize himself in the scenes as they unfold. Mr. Ellis has succinctly captured the essence of the U.S. Navy in its transition after the Vietnam War. Great reading; I thoroughly enjoyed the story - flashbacks and all!" - Al Albers, USN Retired
