I was given a copy of this book by the author, Robert M. Roberts, in exchange for a review. I must say I’m glad he chose to let me read his book, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The story starts out in the Korean War with a pilot seemingly lost in the fog above the ocean. He decides to continue on his current course and f...more

Wow, wow, and wow!! This book started off good and continued to get better right up to the very last page. It was a real barn burner. Once I started I couldn't put it down. I'm going to read his other book "Souls of the Desert" in the next week, and if it's even half as good as "The Monkey Toy"then, Mr. Robert M. Roberts will have a very dedicated fan in me.
