Choosers of the Slain (Amanda Garrett #1)

James H. Cobb's first book featuring Navy Captain Amanda Lee Garrett, Choosers of the Slain, introduces a series of great military fiction.

The political battle over land in Antarctica has just been escalated to a military battle. Argentina has captured the British scientific research bases and expelled all British citizens.

In an attempt to help our closest ally, the USS Cunningham is sent to guard Drake Passage to prevent any more Argentine troops landing on Antarctica. The Cunningham is the latest in stealth design and carries enough fire power to take over a small nation, but how will she hold her own against the Argentine navy and air force?

Captain Garrett, in the first sea battle since WWII, will test the ship and its crew to the limits.
