Morning Star, Midnight Sun The early Guadalcanal-Solomons Campaign of WW 2 August -October 1942
I just finished Dark Waters, Starry Skies by Jeffrey R. Cox on Audible books. The Morning Star, Midnight Sun by this author was fascinating and enjoyable to listen to on Audible, which is 20 hours and 42 minutes long. The naval battles around Guadalcanal were very good from both sides. The troubles of both sides fighting on the ground and the efforts of supplying them is also well documented. The air war from the Japanese and U.S. pilots was in-depth describing the claims for air victories and losses. I have read books about the fighting on Guadalcanal before both on land and sea but none of them described the fighting in the air like this book. If you get it on hard copy, ebook or Audible it will be enjoyable.

Unfortunately Jeffrey Cox has been very poorly rated on the Tully's Port forum by people who are hardcore PacWar experts. One called Cox's books "garbage".

Would have to disagree with Tully's crowd.
I've found all his books to be excellent reads. Well worth reading IMHO.
