Drop Zone

Summary: PJ Wannabe, Like You'd Know!
Review: To all the weenies who have never come any closer to the Air Force than an airshow get off your high horse! FYI, in Clancy's 'Debt of Honor' they send in one guy on a C-17. Give me a break! In case you didn't notice, Salazar's Drop Zone is a work of fiction (a darn good one at that!) If you're one of us who've "been there, done that" then you'll find yourself quickly enveloped in the plot. As for PJ's, I can tell you that they are a breed apart. I've worked w/SEAL's, Ranger's, Army Special Forces (Green Beret's), and CCT Teams (another Air Force special operations outfit). PJ's are a cut above them all and it's about time their story is told. I can personally attest that reading this is a close to a "real world" mission feeling as you'll come.

Summary: Action over literary efforts
Review: While full of action (the second half anyway), and genuinely told by one who has lived the like of a PJ, the book lacks much originality--the numerous cliches become very disenchanting and annoying, and there are grammaitcal errors which get in the way of a pleasent read.
