Major Jeff Struecker (a real life Black Hawk Down veteran) and his award-winning coauthor tell a space-based intelligence story of intense extremes in their new novel, Fallen Angel, named for the "Angel-12" American satellite that is ambushed by China and falls 22,000 miles to land in remote Siberia. U.S. Sgt. Major Eric Moyer and his Special Ops unit are deployed to find Angel-12 and keep its advanced nuclear fuel from enemy hands-and there are many. A Russian shadow government bent on restoring the former USSR pursues the satellite as does the Chinese special forces group that knocked it from the sky. A rash of military and domestic hostage concerns ensues as the stark truth looms: three nations are racing to the satellite, but only one will get there first.

An Epic Race Against Time!!,
By
This review is from: Fallen Angel: A Novel (Paperback)
The Unite States, China, and Russia are in race against time. The prize for placing first is an American satellite that has crashed from space. With the odds continually mounting against them, U.S. Sargent Major Eric Moyer must take his team into a country they are not supposed to be in. With the clock ticking down and the two other nations closing in on their target, Moyer has to make it there first...the President won't allow failure.Starting this book is like sliding onto the back of a wild bronco--once the gate opens and the horse takes off, all you can do is hold on for dear life! Fallen Angel begins with an intriguing prologue and jumps right into a fast-paced plot. There are many characters in this book, but I never had any problem setting them all straight. Moyer's special ops team -- Rich, J.J., Jose, and Crispin -- were a hoot! All of them! I loved the banter that was constantly flying. While the situation was always serious and often life-threatening, their jokes never stopped. I liked the two different views Fallen Angel gave. Not only was a special ops mission shown in wonderful detail, but also their family's lives. It was sobering and a bit sad when the men had to call their family and let them know they wouldn't be home anytime soon. I can't imagine not knowing where your husband or father is, but knowing that wherever they are, they were doubtless in a very dangerous situation. This suspenseful read is perfect for men and women alike! For those who prefer action and suspense over romance--this is the perfect book! Romance is left out and intense action and thrills are put in their place. I found it very difficult to put down! The last hundred pages, when everything escalades to an intense and heart-stopping climax, was awesome. So many things are going on in different parts of the world, But Jeff and Alton keep everything in order. There is quite a bit of torture in this book, so I wouldn't recommend it to readers who are uneasy or queasy with that. I don't especially like reading about torture, but I did like the different angle the authors gave by showing it from a prisoner's perspective. Sometimes I don't think we fully understand everything our soldiers do for this nation. All in all, if you are a suspense fan, I don't think you can go wrong by reading this book. At first glance I thought it was some sci-fi space adventure, but it is FAR from that! Wow! Fallen Angel reminded me of the Discarded Hero series by Ronie Kendig, but in its own special and unique style. I would definitely read the other books in this series and anything else this writing team comes out with! Keep comin' with the adventures, Jeff and Alton! I reviewed this book for B&H Publishing. It was not required that I give a positive review, but solely to express my own thoughts and opinions of this book, which I have done.

Outstanding!,
By Oregon Fiction Fan "Julee" (Central Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fallen Angel: A Novel (Paperback)
Once again Struecker and Gansky have crafted an amazing story. I couldn't turn pages fast enough! Loved the captivating cast of characters. One of the many, many things I like about these novels is the clever wit and banter between the men on the team. Priceless. The action on the homefront is just as riveting as what takes place on the mission. Your novels are so entertaining, but they've also helped me gain a better understanding of the price of freedom. I have deeper appreciation for the work being done by our men and women in the military and the sacrifice of their families. I can't wait for the next Army Spec Ops novel. Write faster, guys!
