A few main complaints with this series. The characters seemed to act more like Keystone Cops than professional lobstermen and Coastie. Daniel repeatedly reacted to situations like an untrained deck hand than an O5 in the Coast Guard. The scene in Ops when the SecDef kicked everyone out and somehow managed to self-launch his flight of drones, apparently without the aid of ground crew is impossible. There were multiple other inconsistencies and improbable outcomes across the series.
Lastly, I feel cheated by the paying full premium price for each of the five 1/2-sized books. $13+ for ~5 hour substandard books isn’t sitting well with me.
