Stumbled upon this book in audio form on youtube while browsing. Ended up listening through half of it, thinking "nice book, pretty ahead of it's time, cause it sounds like it was written in 1980s." Checking date of publishing... written in the 21 century. What the...??? It's quite old school, nothing new. But it's entertaining if you want naval battles without water, cause most of it is "militarist paranoid oldtimer gives order to fire, it only works when he says it, so he saves the day."
