OP Kilo

by Kyrell Kendrick

A US Army squad stationed at a remote outpost in Western Africa finds they are not alone. Believing the strange occurrences to be nothing more than their imaginations or natural phenomena, the squad ignores the events until it becomes too late. Can the squad leader keep his men sane with the threat of an overbearing superior, the volatile desert, and the supernatural?

When Uncle Sam sends you somewhere, you go. To paraphrase, you defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And if the situation requires it, origin and nature unknown.

I have never served, so I did not understand all of the military jargon. I treated it like British slang. I don’t get British slang either, yet I know there’s people in the world that do. Maybe it was because my spouse is a vet and my son is enlisted, but I cared about the characters. They were relatable to me. (Which also helped with the jargon. Not understanding it better. I’m just used to not understanding jargon.) The only thing I would change is I would have liked a bit more information about the enemy. A little background, perhaps. There are times when not knowing is more terrifying, but there’s also times when knowing scares the daylights out of you.

Interesting read for strange happenings at military outposts in Africa. The book is short and full of military jargon. I enjoyed the suspense of all.
