Customer Reviews

Right on target!

Even though it is in the same genre as Keith Douglas'-'Seal Team'series it comes at it from a slightly different angle. And like a .50 cal sniper round it for sure hits the mark! The storyline, characters, and action all come together in a well written,fast paced book that is fun to read and hard to put down! I have read the previous book and look forward to the next one! This guy knows his stuff! I highly recommend this book!

Eagle Force Soars

Orr Kelly does a wonderful job with this book. It is definitely a page turner and no dull moments. If you like novels about the Seals you will love this one! Well worth the read.

I really enjoyed this book,it's very interesting

After read this book I simply had to stop and drop you few lines !!!!!! Orr Kelly wrote the most enjoyable history I had never read before, he could put action and political problems and he also showed that soldiers have family problems.

"VERY ENTERTAINING"

I found this book by Mr. Kelly quite interesting. I do a lot of travelling with my job, and frequent airports regularly. When you can filter out busy airport noises and become fully engrossed in a book it has to be good. I plan on reading all your books Mr. Kelly, Keep up the good work!

a novel of action and reality based on true experience ?

This was a fun and interesting read. While a work of fiction, at least the training and tatics had to be based on fact, and given Mr. Kelly's backround I don't have a hard time believing everything. The political actions are skillfully woven into the novels storyline making the "action" complete. If you're interested in the Gulf area this should be required reading.
