Book Overview

In the War on Terror, it is often difficult to tell who the enemy is. Sometimes your fiercest opponent isn't an insurgent or a fanatic bent on making a statement in blood, but a chain of command that is pursuing goals and objectives that have nothing to do with your unit's stated mission.

Best Coyle in a while.

Best of Coyle's Dixon series since God's Children. Captain Nathan Dixon is the star of the series now and is commanding a Ranger company sent to fight Muslim Terrorists in Southeast Asia. His new Batallion commander is a major jerk and a major problem for Dixon, who is also having challenges in his marriage. Scott Dixon is more father here than Lt General, and there is a great scene with father and son towards the end of the book. I would like to have seen more action and suspense, and I don't like the way key players in past books are discarded: I'll never forgive Coyle for killing off Cerro, and where is Nancy Kozac? still in the Guard somewhere? Find a way to resurrect Cerro and the character we loose in this book, reactivate Kozac, throw in Young Dixon, and my life will be complete again. Also, less military minutiae and more interaction between the soldiers would be nice, too.

More mouse than cat

A good yarn and well thought out. Harold Coyle at his normal level of writing. Sad to see a major character of previous books fade away. good pace to the story

Cat & Mouse review

This is an excellent book, as usual with Coyle's books, I've come to expect with all of his books. It is unfortunate what happened but it furthers the plot in all. Thanks again to Mr. Coyle for an excellent book.

Coyle does it again

As usual, Coyle does a nice job of making you feel like you're there. Lots of twists and turns make this book interesting. Seems to end a bit quick, after building for most of the book...
