Force of Eagles

Rating:
Summary: A tremendous follow-up.
Review: For some reason the entire line up of Richard Herman's books appeared on my favourite bookseller's shelves a year or so ago, at ridiculously low prices. I was intrigued, and laid out the necessary bucks.

Well - it was worthg it. In fact, twice the price would have been fair. Not, of course, that I'm complaining.

"Force Of eagles" is the second of Herman's books, and it's a great yarn. Tautly plotted, with excellent airborne and land battle sequences, the action's non-stop. The concentrated action, however, doesn't interfere with the development of a bunch of likeable characters.

Yes folks, it's battle time, and the good guys are good, the bad guys are bad. (OK, so they're a little cliched. But hey... get with the picture. They are the bad guys, after all!)

The scenario's realistic (Herman must have war-gamed the action a number of times) and is told from a number of perspectives: the pilots, the ground-crew, the medics, the CO and his staff, the odd civilian.

Good stuff... as good as Dale Brown, without the political posturing of the letter.

Summary: You have 30 days to get a team together to get the pows out
Review: The genral at the pentogon is very mad because he wants his people out of prison. he does not care who does the job. Stansell gets the job and puts together a rescue team to get the pows out, but it is not easy trying to do all this. THIS book is the best i would recomend this book to any one.

Summary: An excellent read!
Review: This is the first book I picked up by Herman ( I just happened to see the F-15 Eagle on the cover while browsing a bookstore). I have re-read this book so many times the binding is coming loose! I had to go back and read his first novel The Warbirds and have added it and every book since Force of Eagles to my collection. If you like reading about the military and the Air Force in paticular, Herman is the author for you! Lots of action scenes as well as political background information. A general synopsis of the book would be what could have happnened had the U.S. lost the Gulf War.
