Customer Reviews

well it is different!

I have revieweed this series since the beginning. The first one was very good and the second one was a let down. However this one is really different. The force is at the beginnn of this novel and the action is great. The plot is a very interesting one concerning the overthrow of the US President. You are not sure who is behind the plot for a while and the author supplies some nice choices, but the real villian is a scary one. Then the novel takes off as a political thriller and ends up as gung ho action novel. The Raptor Force becomes the Rough Riders and there are sex scenes thrown in and ...... well it is not what you would expect. It is not straight Reagn like action book nor Ludum novel. It is different and takes awhile to get use to. I really don't know what to expect next or where this series is going. This book is worth the read to see what I mean.

Polictically incorrect but fun anyway

Okay this is not grreat literature. It is very quick read. Its story is about getting even at all cost and breaking every constitutional law there is. This plot isn't new and was quite common in the 70's among violent macho liturature. This where the good guys get tired of the bad guys winning because the good guys' hands are tied by the law. Then the good guys step out side the law and become a modern version of the Flying Tigers of WWII. Of course the baddies die and America can sleep in peace. Don't take this seriously, just sit back and enjoy the ride. Think of this a popcorn for the mind. This is the book version of every summer action flick you have ever seen.
