Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. A rip-roarin' action novel. In spite of being able to see the ultimate outcome, the steps are suspenseful and too believable. The principal character is no gem but he's not a bum either. Very many die, some most unfortunately. What the author has been able to do is to weave facts into a believable narrative. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
"FAST PACED AND LEAN, this book shares a trait with all Scott books, in that he never allows himself to become so fascinated by the soldier's hardware that he forgets the men who wield it." --Southern Book Trade After the American Embassy in Burma is bombed, retired Special Forces colonel Joshua Hawkins is recalled to active duty by order of the president. A secret government mission will require the intimate knowledge of the exotic country that only Hawkins can provide. He has a special bond with the Shan, the proud and independent mountain tribe of northern Burma, having trained as a warrior with his friend Stephen, the son of a Shan warlord, becoming a Horseman of the Shan hill people, and earning the coveted warriors' silver bracelet, forged in honor, that he still wears. Now Hawkins is called again to serve his country, to save his Shan friend, and to help the brave people he has never forgotten in their fight against a corrupt government and a ruthless heroin syndicate. It's a big job, but Hawkins and his men are up to it--and not above using frontier justice to teach the despots a thing or two, the old-fashioned way. . . . "GRITTY. . . ENGROSSING. . .A fast-paced military thriller. . . [that] combines today's headlines with a believable story . . . Highly recommended." --Military and BRAVO/Veterans Outlook Magazines Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
