review 1: The concept is intriguing and the writing isn't bad, but this could have been a much stronger book. The only viewpoint we're really privvy to is that of the main character Derek. We're told that the relationships between the men are strong and that we should care about them, but we're never REALLY given any reason to care. The book ends as a setup to a series so my hope for the next one is that the author steps it up a couple notches and gives us more insight into the other characters and allows us to really FEEL the bond between the guys rather than simply telling us about it.
review 2: I had to actually go back and change my book review to 5 stars. At first I was skeptical about the subject matter, war, Afghanistan, terrorism, to be honest with you, I felt li... moreke I was quite saturated by the news with that kind of information. However, the writing style of this young man is so captivating that I could not put this book down and almost didn't put this book down in two days. That's all it took to read this one and it was a fascinating and very interesting read. An inside story on war, intelligence, doing unpopular jobs and making unpopular decisions to somehow come up with the greater good for all. You end up routing for these guys who have learned to brush off collateral damage and casualty amongst their own ranks to do a job that nobody else wants to do, nor is equipped to do. less
