Overview

Reviewers hailed James H. Cobb's previous Amanda Lee Garrett novels as "breathtaking" and "lightning-paced" (Publishers Weekly), and "hot as a Sea SLAM missile with target lock" (Library Journal). Murder Ink called Garrett "the best naval hero since Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan."

In Target Lock, an industrial research satellite falls to the Indonesian sea after a series of successful tests-only to disappear along with its international recovery team and their ship. NATO and U.S. military officials believe that it has been stolen, but by whom and why? Commander Garrett and her U.S. Navy task force are called in for the hunt, this time among some of the most beautiful, but uncharted, islands on earth, the Indonesian archipelago. Garrett soon suspects that a high-tech pirate has plans for the satellite and its data, but the man she meets is more than her match. He has amassed a sea force of his own and built a hidden fortress undetectable to all but the most sensitive intelligence-gathering equipment. When Garrett herself is kidnapped, her crew, aboard the destroyer U.S.S. Cunningham with its array of modern weaponry, charges in to her defense.

Cobb has crafted another heart-stopping tale, featuring one of the most original characters in military fiction and the technology and strategy the U.S. Navy will almost certainly one day employ.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
The romantically unflappable Amanda Garrett, the maritime commander of Cobb's action-at-sea series, falls out of character and into the arms of a modern-day pirate on her latest voyage. Garrett, leader of an elite navy strike force known as the Sea Fighters, is called to arms after pirates lay siege to a U.S. research vessel in the Indonesian Sea and steal a satellite that contains military secrets. Assisted by her able crew aboard the high-tech destroyer USS Cunningham, Garrett quickly determines that the satellite thieves are part of a huge organization of oceanic marauders led by the dashing Makara Harconan. While in pursuit, however, Garrett allows herself to be not only seduced but also kidnapped by Harconan, who takes her to his secret hideout where, coincidentally, the satellite is also stored. Garrett's poor judgment forces the Sea Fighters to turn a simple seek-and-recovery job into a damsel-in-distress rescue mission. Cobb's fourth Garrett adventure (Sea Fighter; Sea Strike), set in 2008, packs plenty of hard-charging Neptunian spirit and features dogged sea battles and interesting historical asides about Indonesia and piracy. Garrett's weakness for the archipelago's Svengali, however, not only is odd considering her previous guts-and-glory determination but gives an otherwise steely plot a squishy core. Cobb's hand at suspense slips a bit here, too: although they lose their commander for a time, nothing really comes too hard for the Sea Fighters. (Feb.) Forecast: Most Cobb fans will throw up their hands at their heroine's slip into romance; a few will enjoy the diversion. This isn't one of Cobb's best efforts, but the franchise is still seaworthy.

    Excellant Naval Warfare Series

    I have found the Amanda Garrett sequence one of the better naval based series available. Mr. Cobb has built a great story line and character foundations for the Sea Fighter force and the rapidly evolving technology and military doctrine that we are witnessing even today. The latest in the series, Target Lock, is highly recommended. It is true that Harconan's 'pirate force' does not seriously threaten the Sea Fighters as a whole, but he does present a very real threat to certain individuals, especially Amanda Garrett. I imagine that some surprises await from Harconan for the Sea Fighters in the future operations in Indonesia. A very enjoyable series, but start with the first installment 'Choosers of the Slain' to get the full evolution of the Sea Fighters and Garrett.

    Awesome! A great book for ANYONE - male or female!

    This is an awesome book! The fourth in the Amanda Lee Garrett series. Fast paced, LOTS of action, interesting for anyone who likes naval stories with male female relationships thrown in. The main characters have both good and bad points, just like all of us. They aren't characters who are so out there that you say "Yeah right, someone could really do that on a regular basis."
    There is a glossary that explains some of the weapons systems used so that anyone can follow along. You don't have to be retired navy to enjoy these books.
    My ONLY complaint is that the publisher did not allow the author to continue the series. You KNOW that there is more to come and then - nothing. No more books. WHY? Murder Ink 's review says TARGET LOCK has " The best naval hero since Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan." How can you shut down an author with this and many other sterling reviews?
