"Sabrejet" update, Feb 17 2003
By Barrett Tillman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hellcats: A Novel of War in the Pacific (Hardcover)
The intended sequel to "Hellcats" was to be "Sabrejet," completing the Rogers/Sakaida trilogy begun in "Dauntless." The publisher of "Hellcats" lapsed from the military fiction market shortly after publication, but since then has resumed interest in the field. I hope to pursue the Korean War saga and will try to notify this site accordingly.Thanks to everyone who's expressed interest in "Sabrejet" over the years.
(I'd not bother with a rating of my own book if I could post otherwise!)

Barrett Tillman as an author of Historical Fiction, July 8 2003
By David Linstadt "dlrocdoc" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hellcats: A Novel of War in the Pacific (Hardcover)
Mr. Tillman represents one of the best of the breed of historical novelists; he is well-versed in the historical facts and technological details of his subject matter, yet also has the artistic gift of being able to engage the reader by creating interesting characters caught up in the consequences of tremendously important global events. Both Dauntless! and Hellcats are superb fictional treatments of what it might have been like to fight and survive the Pacific War as a young US Naval aviator.
I hope that the final episode of the trilogy, Sabrejets, will actually be finished and published; I'll be the first in line to purchase it. (And no, I'm not putting my own hard copies of either Dauntless or Hellcats up for sale on E-bay---they'll stay on my bookshelf for years to come.)
Mr. Tillman, you please keep at it! (and by the way, your non-fiction dissertations on the various aircraft used in the Pacific War are superb as well.)

for both of his books and the one maybe to come :o), Mar 7 2001
By jared - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hellcats: A Novel of War in the Pacific (Hardcover)
I read both the Dauntless and Hellcat twice because I couldnt put them down, I even ran up a late fee on hellcat at my library, The book (Hellcat) is full of everything you could expect from an aireol based world war II book. my favorite thing about the book is that it showed the war form the prospective of both an american side and a japanese side all the way up and through their meeting in combat over the south pacific and over the american characters ship, that was really cool! I also like how my hometown of Bremerton is mentioned in the book it was a real wake up call as to what great roll as a carrier and other ship base it played. I also lived in the tri-cities near hanford too! (Benton City)Go Kiona Benton Bears All I can say about sabrejet is:
GIMME GIMME GIMME I would really like to read that book and dont like how they're keeping me hanging with the characters and me wondering what to do next! If anyone has any kind of pull to get sabrejet published please try to help! I waiting to see what happens!
Listmania!
