Hammerheads

The technical accuracy added so much to the realism, but I wonder if the author has a background in aviation or military tech. How did the research process influence the story?

While I loved the adrenaline rush, some parts felt like they skipped over details that might have made the stakes even higher. Was that a deliberate choice to keep the story moving?

I found the tactics fascinating but also wondered how much was based on actual military doctrine versus creative license. Did the author consult with experts on this?
