Editorial Reviews

A mix of feats of physical prowess and militaristic strategy, all wrapped up in a nice, gung-ho burrito of Can Do spirit. . . . The details of the training to be a pararescue jumper, and the vivid descriptions of the various terrains and forces of nature that have to be fought against are going to have children whiteknuckling the covers of these short, fast moving stories...and asking for another one as soon as they are finished. Readers of Sherman's Bloodlines and Bowen's Shadow Squadron series will adore these books.
