Reviews:

Dagger Quest:

"A highly entertaining cross between a seafaring adventure and a high-stakes military drama. The authenticity of the prose and the detailed technical writing makes readers forget this isn't a direct account of an international incident, while the dialogue is snappy and believable, and the narration keeps the suspense at a fever pitch to the very end." Self-Publishing Review

Caribbean Counterstrike:

"Hochsmann's meticulous prose hums with lived experience and authenticity, while the relationships onboard the Kauai only deepen in complexity. The author's ability to craft a blockbuster story while weaving in critical themes of trust, honor, and independence is a testament to his nuanced perspective on the complex subject matter. This gripping maritime thriller delivers in every way."

Self-Publishing Review

Bravely and Faithfully:

A gripping high-stakes adventure on the sea. Lieutenant Haley Reardon assumes command of the tight-knit Kauai crew just in time for an incredibly dangerous assignment: apprehending a syndicate leader from a Chinese-controlled Haitian island. Hochsmann's dynamic cast, energetic prose, and tense plot - showcasing everything from perilous hurricane rescues to the liberation of human trafficking victims - make this novel an enjoyable must-read for fans of character-driven military fiction.
