SIGNED EDITION, excellent condition, action narrative, hardcover with dust jacket. Yes, there is romance but it is secondary to the excitement and adventure of a US Navy female helicopter pilot assigned to a battle group. The author, an Academy graduate and helicopter pilot herself is well qualified to tell us this captivating story. As an avid reader, this was one of my favorite books this year. And it is a SIGNED EDITION! This story should be made into a movie.
