The book ends with Morris and his Navy friends escorting another ship. The author leaves us with a description of the sound of a sniper's gunshot and someone yelling "Moses!" A great cliff-hanger.
I think the ending was satisfying if you keep in mind that this story will take place in a series of books and not just in one. Although I would rather have had the author end the book on a good note or the end of a problem and not a cliff-hanger.
If I could ask the author a question it would most-likely be, "what inspired you to write about Vietnam and especially from a US Navy point of view rather than a US Army point of view?" or my question would be, "will the next book(s) be following one of the other characters?"
The main character, Morris, becomes more battle hardened as he fights the war. For example, in the beginning he was scared out of his mind about going to war, but in the end, when the sniper shoot he gets down and continues with what he was doing.

I personally do like when a book closes with a cliffhanger because it keeps you thinking about the book. That's really interesting that you would ask the author why they used a navy point of view instead of army.
