High End By Kevin Miller

Early in my career as a US Army officer, my go-to military thriller author was Tom Clancy and my favorite for quite a while was Red Storm Rising. Clancy satisfied my hunger for that genre with powerful, action-filled sagas that caused me to power through their novels with elation. And then I read High End, a pulse-pounding combat aviation military adventure by Retired US Navy Captain Kevin Miller. This book is one of the best US Navy aviation military thrillers that I have read in years and, like Red Storm Rising, it is relevant to our global situation today and is one of the few books that I will take time to read a second time (and maybe a third).

High End plunges readers into the adrenaline-fueled world of modern naval combat, specifically carrier operations in a volatile geopolitical climate. The narrative centers on Admiral James "Flip" Wilson as he commands a carrier strike group in the Mediterranean, where tensions between Greece and Turkey escalate, drawing in Russian intervention. Miller, a former naval aviator himself, brings a high degree of authenticity to the story, vividly depicting the complexities and dangers of aerial warfare, naval strategy, and the split-second decisions that can have global consequences.

High End delivers a thrilling and immersive experience that highlights Miller's expertise and passion for naval aviation - detailing and realistic portrayal of carrier operations and the technology involved. From the roar of jet engines to the intricate coordination required for successful missions, the novel is a testament to the skill and dedication of the men and women serving in the U.S. Navy. It offers a starkly realistic look at the potential for conflict in a world where tensions are always simmering just below the surface and great power competition can escalate at any moment. I highly recommend High End – I could not put it down!
