Enjoyable reading.

[Charles · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a collection of related stories that end up being connected at the end. The writing was just fantastically fresh. Great description. The characters were all military folks and there seemed a certain sameness about them, but that might be realistic. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and it's relatively short and a quick read.
