Damage Control

Bloodlines

by M. Zachary Sherman

When a C-119 cargo plane crashes behind enemy lines in mountainous terrain, the American survivors are stranded with no chance of rescue. Facing a brutal environment, dwindling resources, and an attack by enemy forces, Corporal Tony Donovan realizes their only hope is doing the impossible: repairing one of the several destroyed Jeeps that was their cargo, utilizing a hodgepodge of remnants from the wreckage, to escape alive.

[Barbara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Plenty of readers, especially boys, will be drawn to this book because of its tough military characters and fast-paced action. When PFC Tony Donovan and his crew crash behind enemy lines in North Korea, they must either wait for rescue, hoping no one on the other side will spot them, or come up with a way to escape on their own. The storyline is juxtaposed with background information about the Korean War and the guns and equipment being used. There are also colorful cartoon panels the support the text. The author looks at conflict with an unflinching eye. There are heroes and villains during wartime, and sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. Additionally, death can be only seconds away when one is serving in the military.

This book is full of action. If you like the army and war then read this book and the rest of the series. In this book and the other ones you will find information about the guns, equipment, and vehicles used in the time period it was used. Also it is about one family history in war.
