Operation: Firebrand-Deliverance

Operation Firebrand #3

by Jefferson Scott

For some desperate North Koreans, the dream of freedom comes at a steep cost--possible execution or life in a labor camp. Missionaries try to steer the group over the border of Mongolia, but Chinese informers and North Korean agents surround them. When news of the refugees' plight reaches government officials, China paralyzes relief efforts by its resolute inaction. Now, Team Firebrand gets involved to try to deliver the harassed individuals from certain doom. Can the Firebrand members rescue the refugees. . .or will this crucible of danger prove too difficult in a land that God has seemingly forsaken? This may be fiction, but Team Firebrand and its involvement in a sensitive North Korean rescue are as compelling as tonight's news.

[Stephen Holtman · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this installment of the series, the team has to go into North Korea to save a captured family from Korea. I will say that this book does kind of have that over selling the message feel that the ‘Soul Gate’ was suffering from. I am not going to say that it was a nesscilary bad thing to have in a story, but only if you do it in moderation. But this book has done the whole religious thing to the point of excessiveness. The caratchers were more relatable and fun but still had an overly high focussnessed to it. I did like the caratchers and their various background stories in this one. I did come to doing just that in this one. The writing was pretty good. It kind of felt a little bit too much like a children’s story with the use of creative uses instead of violent ones. But that doesn’t nessicarily make it a bad thing. I liked most of this book. I know that you are asking yourselves how a book can be mostly good. Well except for a couple of parts this book was worth a read. I would definetly recommend this book to the people who truly believe in it’s message.

It has potential...But all the characters are Korean and it is very difficult to follow with the names being so different. I keep trying to get it right, but who is who?
