March, 1942. Lance-Sergeant Thomas Lynch and his fellow Commando raiders once again infiltrate Occupied France. Their to carry out a surprise assault on the Chateau de Lorieux, a French estate where heroes of the Waffen-SS enjoy rest and relaxation away from the horrors of war. Unbeknownst to the Germans, Lynch and his comrades bring their own brand of horror, striking in the night with bullets and blades. But when three of Germany's deadliest and most diabolical SS veterans escape the slaughter, Lynch and the other Commandos find themselves in a race against time. Can they retreat to the French coast and evade the German search parties until salvation arrives, or must they turn their backs to the cold waters of the Atlantic, and fight to the last against impossible odds? Operation Eisen is the sixth in a series of military action - adventure novels written in the spirit of classic war movies and wartime adventure pulp fiction.
People are posting some ridiculous reviews up on Amazon about this volume of Commando. Screw them! This is a fine continuation of the story. The villains are suitable villainous and if they have a bit of a Tarantino aspect to them, all the better as far as this reader is concerned. Who the hell wants less villainous villains, especially SS officers, in a Second World War thriller!?! The cliffhanger is a bit different than the previous Commando volumes but it really isn't the big deal people are making it out to be. All this reader can say is you'd best be typing on the bus, at the laundromat, and when on the john, Mr. Badelaire because this reader wants Operation Fireball or Furious or Fricasse or Flambe sooner rather than later. And, as always, MORE MACTEAGUE.
