Ironsides’ Peril is a wild ride at sea. In this fast-paced action adventure novel, author Michael D. Urbin skillfully intertwines wonderfully detailed descriptions of early nineteenth century nautical lore with the most modern Navy and Coast Guard operations. Easy-reading escapism on a foundation of serious nautical scholarship: a great premise, well done. (

Detective Lt. Paul Murphy recognized the carving on the dead woman hanging on the fence of the old zoo's bear pit as the work of international terrorist Mustafa. Muhammad Al-Buyid has a plan to capture the restored USS Constitution and use it as a weapon against the United States. Zach Colt is on the Board of Directors that oversees the maintenance of the Constitution. He worked alongside the others and was looking forward to sailing the ship in celebration of the War of 1812 bicentennial. It was be a trip they won't soon forget.

It is hard to keep a good ship down. (
