Reviews

[Shelby H. Green · Rating 5 out of 5]

best I’ve in quite some time

Well written. It shows the author has been there & done that.
Many twist & turns with a surprise ending that was a little disappointing!
I highly recommend

Action Packed

A narrative full of action which is well described, that pulls you in and turns the pages. A great read

[Theodore Cohen · Rating 5 out of 5]

You will not be able to put this book down.

It's an action thriller about an officer torn between Loyalty to his men and his wife's desire for him to leave the service.

[Dixon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Author Dennis Foley put in his time in Vietnam. When he returned to the States, the Army assigned him to liaison duty with Hollywood crews making shows or movies on Army bases or using Army equipment. After leaving military service, Dennis became a writer and producer on such shows as China Beach, MacGyver, Airwolf, and Cagney & Lacey.

The characters, settings and situations in this gritty book seem real because (1) Dennis is a terrific writer, and (2) he put unflinching honesty into every page.

Try it - you'll like it!
