[Wayne · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is pretty much the same as the first, this being volume No. 2, as it's got too much military speak. The characters go jabbering on about something in military terminology and don't interpret it. The author was a former special forces sergeant, and most times it seems that that is his only audience.

This book also has a good deal of, I'm just guessing here, the authors true feelings. It seems that if you are not military, your just little people. Not worth much. Anyone different from the normal class is scum. Torrents of homophobia is spilled as well.

There is a story, but it's secondary to the knowledge the author has of guns and killing. He leads us down flashbacks of his, or his buddies' happy times killing in foreign lands. Gave this series a second chance, but I think I'll evac my eyes to another LZ.
