Description

December 20, 2011 Combining key structural story developments of intrigue, suspense, lust and revenge and overlapping the Navy’s military code of conduct, Murder on the Naval Base has all of the elements of a blockbuster movie, packed within a terse novel which is literally impossible to put down. In this novel, the suspect is tried in a military court, which has different rules than civil courts. “The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is the system of rules governing the military criminal process, whereas civilian law is a legal system inspired by Roman law and holds legislation as the primary source of law,” he explained. “Military court authority is based on the status of the offender, whereas civilian law is based on the location of the crime. For example, if the accused is an active service member, the UCMJ applies no matter where the crime occurred.” The novel transports the reader into the supersonic fighter jet world of Naval Aviation, with aircraft carrier scenes, and brings you close to the egos and confidence of those commanders that fly our warplanes.
