Customer Reviews

non-hostile review

This book is an incredible story that is beyond entertaining. This series of books details the incredible adventures of men trying to keep our country safe during a time when this is a very important issue. The threats are real and reading this book, I feel that the story and action could be real. The characters are grounded in real life and I think thats what makes it so appealing.

The Threat of Terror is real.

While we watch 'The Minutemen' and debate their worth, illegals of all calibres are slipping into this country at an alarming rate. With Homeland Security unable or unwilling to stem this flow, 'Home Team-Hostile Borders' tells a frightening tale of what can easily be our next worst nightmare.

Great Read!

Chief Chalker has a hit with his second Home Team book. The action is fast paced and almost non-stop. The concept of Al Queda terrorists working with drug smugglers is all too real. My only criticism is the detailed descriptions of the Team's load out for every excursion. It's interesting to hear once, but we don't need to know which socks he's wearing with which tactical holster. I have to complain about such minute details because that's all that's wrong with the book. If you like Andy McNabb, Marcinko, or Brad Thor, add Chief Chalker to your list of "must reads"

Fantastic action/adventure romp!

The 2nd novel in the Home Team series was another great, fast-paced adventure read. Like the first novel, Undeclared War, authors Dennis Chalker and Kevin Dockery give us another hardcore action read that drives ever forward like a fully-armed locomotive. With realistic details and an all-too-real terrorist plot, Hostile Borders entertains you till the climatic, action-filled end. Ted Reaper is a hero of today's headlines. I'm glad to have found such a fun and exciting new series. I can't wait for the next new novel coming out in February. Hollywood, look no further for your new action major motion picture!!

Page-turner

This fast-paced novel is the second in Chalker and Dockery's "Home Team" series. I'd been looking forward to it, and got through it within two days of picking it up. Like its predecessor ("Undeclared War"), its plot is frighteningly plausible. One of the hallmarks of the series is the technical detail. When our heroes kit up, you'll learn the brand, make, model, and features of every piece of equipment; they stop short of giving you the serial numbers. Non-stop action, written by people who know what they're talking about. (I doubt if the authors are to blame for the unimaginative title.)
