Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Rookie CIA Agent Gene Smitz has been assigned the mission of recovering the Arc Light 4 (a spy plane that supposedly went down in Saudi Arabia almost a decade before) and freeing its original crew of 13, who are believed to still be held hostage in a fortress outside of Baghdad. After an intensive training session on a secret island in the Florida Keys, Smitz's ad hoc interservice military unit sets out for combat in the Middle East, armed in their high-tech choppers. The troops fight to take down the fortress of a reclusive, 400-pound billionaire named Zim, who now has the spy plane, but just when their tour of duty seems imminently victorious, something goes disastrously wrong. Maloney's (author of the Wingman series) technical descriptions of aircraft and weaponry and fluent militaristic terminology are authentic, but they are not enough to compensate for his underdeveloped characters, who are clearly secondary to the action. (Oct.)

4.0 out of 5 stars
A military marvel!,
This review is from: Chopper Ops 1 (Paperback)
I LOVED this story. It's action packed, the characters are knowable AND likeable, the story line is clear with no fluff, and the plot is very interesting. This book captures your attention almost from the very first page, and readers of military novels will really enjoy the pace. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five was because I thought the ending was a little unclear. Still, the author took a nice twist with the plot at the end, and the book is definitely worth it! Enjoy!

I read this one AFTER Chopper Ops 2...the out of sequence was a bit strange, but this one is filled with as much action and the plot twists were interesting.

A new style,
By Eric Lehman (Memphis,Tennessee, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chopper Ops 1 (Paperback)
This book was not what I expected. Though it was better. It has a superstitious, UFO, eerie type feel. It really is a wonderful book.
