[Nasim · Rating 5 out of 5]

I actually got this book randomly from the library because i liked its cover. It seemed like a cool book, based on war. I enjoyed the authors writing style, as he was very descriptive and never left out any detail. One main thing i liked about this book, was the different view points and how different chapters dealt with other characters, and other scenarios so throughout the book you had to put the pieces together. The book mainly dealt with, how a Delta Force had to retrieve fallen astronauts and secret plans those astronauts were working on. This book was also very modern. This means a lot of the things in the book I already have knowledge of from the news and school. That helps so that you don't really get confused while reading this book. This book reminds me of other action packed books I've read. The only thing that could have made my reading experience better was if i had read the four books before. This is because some characters refer back to previous missions in the previous books.
