Sky Hunters: Operation Southern Cross Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just like the first book of the XBattalion series, "OSC" moves like a race car jammed into fifth gear. The top-secret XBat copter force is ordered to put out several political brush fires in South America, only to discover that one of them might involve nothing less than the fate of the world. All the while, the CIA's multi-billion dollar, ultra-sophisticated spy satellite system is failing, and no one knows why. The two plot lines collide in one of the most unlikliest places on Earth, causing the book's heroes to make an incredibly harrowing last-minute flight to save all. The action scenes are very realistic; the flying sequences are not for the faint of heart. The balancing act that many special forces members must endure between their personal lives and service to their country is also well brought out. According to a web site given on the book's cover -- www.XBattalion.com -- apparently no one really knows who the author Jack Shane is. But obviously, he knows his stuff. I'm looking forward to Book 3.

The expert, the fearless, the crazy-the most lethal weapon in the U.S. arsenal

Only the best can make it in X-Battalion, the top-secret experimental arm of the U.S. military's TF-160 Nightstalkers. The mavericks and madmen who fly the highest tech attack helicopters make their own rules as they shuttle CIA spooks and Special Ops commandos to high-risk zones -- and leap into the fight without question whenever the need arises.

But fresh from a successful mission against a Colombian drug lord, XBat finds itself the target of a new and unexpected enemy: fighter jets from a revitalized Venezuelan air force. A brutal new-age SS is coming alive in this volatile South America powderkeg, with the power to start a war and a terrifying weapon to help them win it. But now they've got XBat's rogue warriors on their tail, who are determined to pursue the growing threat from Caracas to Cuba . . . and eliminate it by any means necessary.

Bobby Autry is one of the best in the world at what he does. An elite combat chopper pilot, Autry has been tested under fire and always come out on top. But his new assigment might change all that. He's been tasked to lead a new unit of the elite Night Stalkers, a unit that can outfly the rest of the pilots in SOAR (Special Operations Air Regiment), outshoot the best gunners in the SEALs or Deltas, and operate as indepdently as the most lawless gureillas. The results: an experimental unit expected to fail: the X–Battalion. It won't be easy. The pilots he has at his command are the craziest, most dangerous, most unpredictable men in the military, men capable of thinking beyond rules and regulations, but men equally capable of breaking them. Autry will need every one of them if they are to survive their first mission. North Korean dictator Kim Il Sung had procurred a weapon of apocalyptic destruction, and all intelligence points to his willingness to use it within the next 48 hours. If he deploys the weapon, he will poison the entire planet with radioactive fallout. The only way to stop him is with a group that can move silently, strike powerfully, and not worry about breaking a few rules along the way. The only way to stop him: X–Battalion.
