Read an advanced copy, book will be published in Nov. A must read or great Christmas gift for anyone who enjoyed military fiction. Takes a very real world view of potential conflict in the Middle East. Really did a good job mixing the story line without getting bogged down with technical jargon.
Kept me engaged through out the book. A marvelous story teller.
Add this to the Christmas read list, it's a must.

The dark waters of the Mediterranean give way to the sandy beach and in turn the sandy dunes. From the sea comes the Marines, led by First Lieutenant Samuel Erickson, a brave young man struggling to fulfill the legacy of his late father. It's a drive that will push Sam into one gravely dangerous encounter after another. From the sand dunes of the desert

Won this as a giveaway. Not my usual genre. Mixed feelings personally for the brutality, but truthfully this is where the world is today. I just wouldn't have chosen to fill my mind with this if i didn't owe a review. Scary how someone can write about this so accurately. I still have anxiety from it. Good stories open our minds to new ideas as well as entertain us. Definitely worth the read.
A great read about a new Middle Eastern War!!!
I am a fan of military themed books. This book makes a fan like me very happy. It is full of action, engaging characters, and a strong storyline.
I did not have a favorite character as I did like them all. It was like a movie playing in my head the whole time that I was reading this book. It felt like I was transported to the Middle East...running for my life while dodging bullets, surviving; while trying to capture the enemies.
