Customer Reviews

Another winner !

I have now read all the Joe Weber novels but one (Honorable Enemies) which I start next. Rules of Engagement was just was well written as all his other books. Growing up in that era, for me, it was interesting to understand what was happening "behind the scenes" of the VietNam war. Great characters, great plots, and some interesting twists are all typical Joe Weber. Keep up the good work.

We Want More Brad Austin Stories!!

Wow what a book!! Exciting!! Puts you right in the cockpit of a Navy F-4. I love these books that tell the story of Naval Aviators. A great adventure and an epic of Naval Aviation. Mr Weber should keep with this Brad Austin character and the flying in his next book. I have Targets of Opportunity already but we want more!!

OUTSTANDING ADRENALINE PUMPING ACTION

THIS BOOK HAS EVERYTHING IN IT NESSCESSARY TO GET YOUR HEART POUNDING AND YOUR ADRENALINE FLOWING. THE HERO BRAD AUSTIN IS ENRAGED AT NOT BEING ABLE TO SAVE HIS FREINDS FROM ENEMY CAPTURE AFTER BEING SHOT DOWN IN VIET NAM. HE THEN BREAKS THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT AND GOES AFTER THE PILOT WHO DID IT.THE ENSUING POLITICAL REPERCUSIONS ARE AS INTRIGUING AND EXCITING AS THE ARIEL COMBAT ACTION. THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WHO EVEN MILDLY ENJOYS THIS TYPE OF STORY.

The best book I have ever read

Rules of Engagement is by far the best book I have ever read. The action is intense, and almost never lets up. Marine Pilot Brad Austin is caught in a war that the rules restrict to not attacking military targets. But then Brad decided to break the rules...

Excellent

I've read this book several times, and it just keeps getting better each time! Hopefully Mr. Weber will continue writing books of this nature.
