The Commander, by Dan E Hendrickson is a story about Lt Commander Jacob Edwards of United States Coast Guard, a family man with a wife and daughter who gets promoted to command a ship because of his sheer skill, courage and talent despite lack of experience in leading fully equipped Coast Guard Ship. He is about to be handed toughest mission in his career to lead, to counter threats posed to US Energy Infrastructure by foreign elements. Will he be successful in his mission?

Author sets the plot very calmly, introducing every character nicely and the movement of the story is absolutely fluid from one chapter to the next, there are no voids in the story streamline. Towards the end of the story it went in an even pace.

The buildup given to the characters of Commander Jacob Edwards and Captain Tommy Williams "The Legend" of Naval Intelligence is nothing short of a movie. If there is a separate world for Tommy williams character alone that would make for a great series

I cannot think of any negatives, but story could be extended if villains in the story was given more depth that is equal to heroes. It seemed like there was a power imbalance. Always a hero needs a worthy Adversary.

"I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars" because it deserves. The Commander by Dan E Hendrickson has more to offer storywise extension, it deserves a sequel.

This book is recommended for teenagers and adults who are into suspense action thrillers genre, they will enjoy this book, not recommended for small children because there are certain pages in which description of certain scenes are not suitable for small children.
