This book was pretty good. It had enough action to keep me interested and had a good story plot. There were some parts of it that were more boring because there wasn't any action and it was just talking. Overall a good book for someone who likes action and how it shows what some military personnel have to deal with stuff.

This book was really good because when you read the book it basically takes you into a simulation the pages are just like you are right there.I really like how in the beginning of the book there are couple of pages that show the people background like Cross Ryan and Walker.Plus they show what is the operation and the plan.Plus even have good drama and a story line if you line spec op.Also show the com chatter.Plus this book is basically video game of an V R System.

White needle is like Phantom sun except in the beginning and most of the middle the setting was in the city and not in a snowy place. The book did not have a lot of action and was not my favorite book but l liked it a lot.

This is the second Shadow Squadron mission story I've read, at about 90 pages long it makes a good bedtime read aloud for a night or two for your video game interested or military interested child. Lots of good vocabulary and technical language. I like this series and the dry, matter of factness of the bravery of the characters. Very clean and whilst violent topic (special forces) the book is not violent or gory, rather it is mission oriented. Very cool.

A multi-branch elite military team must infiltrate Syria and stop rebels from launching a chemical weapon. Readers who are into military, war, etc. would enjoy this story. I could see it being a solid recommendation for younger, strong readers as well as older high-low students. There are casualties though they are kept to a minimum and the good vs. evil message is clear.

The book was kind of confusing at times. There were multiple story's going on at once in the book so it was hard to understand what was happening. This book is still very cool and if you want to read about Helicopters losing control and crashing, snipers, night vision, and medics trying to save wounded this book is great for you!

This book was great, I loved the way it ended but I do not want to spoil the ending. This book should be turned into a movie.

This was a very good book. it was as good or even better than Phantom Sun. i plan on reading the entire series of 11 books. I've read 2 out of the 5 I have,which is 5 out 11 books in the series.
