Sky Hunters: Anarchy's Reign Review

Average Reviews:

I ran across the first of this series,X-BATTALION, and bought it because of the title. After reading it I found that I liked it, so I went on to the second one, OPERATION SOUTHWRN CROSS, and went directly to the FINAL one, ANARCHY'S REIGN. I will get back to that word FINAL in a moment.
These book are action filled like many other techno war books. However what separates this series is the character developement. Autry,Mungo,and McCune are fully define
men, men with definite character flaws. These flaws plus the idea of bucking the system are the things that make this series interesting. ANARCHY'S REIGN takes place in L.A. It is fun that the action takes place on American soil. The only hope to save L.A. are the SKY HUNTERs, but they are disbanded it because they are too good and the other services hate them. They are a loose cannon that can't be trusted. Needless
to
say like in the other two novels they win because they are un predictable.
Now that word FINAL!!! After reading this book, I screamed and threw the book across the room. For you see the author ends this series with this book. All those great characters will not return. The funny part of all this is that I went to the author's web page and wrote him a letter telling him how I felt. He answered my email!! Yes hesaid this was the end, but that I ahould try out his other works by his other name Jack Moloney of the WINGMAN series, STARHAWKE series, and the CHOPPER OPS series. I have read these and they are almost good enough to make me forgive him for killing this series. ALMOST but no!

Bobby Autry has always been a maverick. One of the best pilots in America's elite helicopter unit, nobody expected Autry to succeed when he was ordered to create a unit that could fly better than the Nightstalkers, shoot better than the SEALs, and think smarter than the CIA, but he delivered. He never cared about stepping on toes, only on getting results. But now Autry faces his biggest test. In the past, his strength as a soldier was in being able to operate independently, autonomously, without oversight. But now, he might have to take it one step further––he might actually have to break the law to get the job done. Autry has discovered a new threat to America, and it's coming from the inside. After intercepting a cache of weapons, he discovers that their destination is to be within one of America's biggest cities. A group of anarchists, hoping to fan of the flames of a politically–divided country, intends to transform the World Economic Summit into a war zone. With the time ticking down and government beuracracy slowing down the required response, Autry knows that the only way to defend his country is to break the law, arm his renegades, and pre–empt an insurrection on his own soil. If he isn't killed, he's almost certainly be court martialed, but caring about the rules was never Autry's style...

American Heroes: In the Fight Against Radical Islam (War Stories) Review

American Heroes: In the Fight Against Radical Islam (War Stories)

I've read several books about the War in Iraq for research projects and papers. American Heroes is by far the most clear and interesting one yet. It explains every military term, event, treaty, etc. clearly and fully. It's very informative and well written. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to understand the events leading up to the War in Iraq and the events during.

What is a Hero? New York Times best-selling author Oliver North says, “Real heroes are selfless. Those who serve America in harm's way in the war against radical Islam have that quality in abundance. And so do their families and loved ones at home. Yet, they rarely get the attention or coverage they deserve.“Despite the way they are presented by too many in the press and politics, the men and women in uniform today are overwhelmingly good. I never cease to be amazed at the self-discipline of these brave young Americans. They can endure the adrenaline-pumping violence of an enemy engagement, and then, just minutes later, help school children get safely to their classes . . . No nation-ours included-has ever had a military force better than the one we have today. I'm proud of them. You should be too.” In American Heroes (a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post best seller), North offers an inspiring, first-hand account of the extraordinary men and women defending America against radical Islamic terror from his perspective as a forty year member of the United States military, a member of the National Security Council staff and serving as the U.S. government's counter-terrorism coordinator from 1983-1986. This patriotic book also pulls in new reports and exclusive full-color photographs from War Stories, the award-winning FOX News Channel series hosted by North. Endorsements "Oliver North has spent his life among America's heroes. This book with its moving words and powerful images will inspire patriots, reassure the faint of heart, and infuriate our nation's adversaries. These are our heroes, they deserve to have their story told, and no one is better to tell it than Col. North, because when it comes to heroes, it takes one to know one. This book is a treasure."-Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House of Representatives and New York Times bestselling author of Real Change"Ollie North has ‘been there-done that' with the American heroes who are winning the war against radical Islamic terror. This book is a magnificent tribute to the warriors who defend us all."-Sean Hannity, host of The Sean Hannity Show and FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes

Air Battle Force Review

Air Battle Force

I've read every single one of Mr. Brown's books and this one is by far the weakest. Still good though but not his best. It was nice to see old characters like General Furness and Colonel Mace. But Thorn has to go. Hopefully he gets ousted from office in the next book. The plot in this one is kinda a weak but it seems to set up the next book nicely. (A war with Russia?) The robot planes are totally unbelieveable though. It breaks my heart to see Mr. Brown, a former navigator himself, take the real heros out of the picture. Whats the fun in flying if your gonna do it from the ground? A lot seems to be missing from Air Battle Force. But hopefully its just a set up for the next one.

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.

I happen to have been one of the medical students taken hostage in the Grenada war. I am writing a book myself about our incredible, untold story and look forward to reading this one.

On 21 October 1983, following the death of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop, the leaders of the six small nations forming the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States voted to intervene militarily to restore order in Grenada. As none possessed the forces necessary to carry out a successful operation, the United States, fearing for its citizens on the island, and wanting to curb Cuba's growing influence, decided to get involved. This book provides a day-by-day account of the US invasion of Grenada, focusing on the units and forces deployed. Numerous contemporary photographs and colour plates detail the uniforms and equipment of the US, Cuban and Caribbean forces.
