As an avid book reader, this book would definitely be one of the more interesting books I've read in a while. The plot caught me completely by surprise and the characters were believable. At no point do they act in a way that could be construed as out of character. The plot was original; entertaining and in a way, heartbreaking at the same time. The book itself was very easy to read. Overall, I enjoyed this book very much and would recommend it to others.

For God & Country

This book surpassed my expectations. From the moment I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I fell in love with the characters once I met them and that love continued to grow as I spent more time with them. The action kept me on the edge of my seat and the heartwarming scenes mixed in with the turmoil only served to enhance my expierence as a reader. I have and will continue to recommend this book to others. Amazing gift that should be bought for years to come.

An Epic, Inspiring tale of everyday heroes responding to a crisis that shakes a country at it's core.

For God and Country brought together the perfect mixture of action, humor, and drama that sucks you in and keeps you in even after you put it down. The creative writing could only be described as different, real & fresh and in this industry Daniel Reyes will be a force to be reckoned with. Looking forward to seeing what else is in store. Thank you your book was really cool.

An Amazing tale about friendship, trust and the truth. Shocking twists around every corner. Daniel Reyes has really outdone himself on this one.

In the world today it's almost impossible to find anything unique. The vast majority of entertainment is filled with overdone storylines, that are repeated and redone. This book is a true original. It's beautifully written and believable, at times you may feel as if you are actually in the story. For God & Country is one of the most captivating stories that I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Throughout the entire book you're taken on an emotional journey. At times you'll laugh, at others cry, and more than likely reevaluate the way you look at the world around you.

This book was a great read keeping me engrossed in the story all the way through the book. The pages kept turning because I wanted to see what was going to happen next, and before I knew it I was at the end. Very detailed keeping the reader involved in the story and I could "see" what was going on. I will definitely recommend this to everyone I know. Can't wait for the next book from Daniel...GREAT JOB!!!

I like his character development. He uses their development to get the reader to care about the characters and their situation. I enjoy the fact that even though it is military fiction that he uses real locations. It is an excellent depiction of a tight knit squad performing exactly what they were trained to do.

This book captivated me like few others! I liked it so much that I read it twice! A fine job by an novice auther; I can't wait to read his next book, and those that follow!
As a published author, I know about the effort it takes to produce well-written books, and this book shows a definite quality of style!

The reason I purchased this book was that it was written by an author who graduated from Mesquite High School, a local high school in Ridgecrest, CA where I live and I always am interested in local authors.

The story simply is about a Marine who comes back from the Iraq conflict after having seen action and gets deployed as a recruiter near where his family lives in Los Angeles. Then a coalition of countries who hate the US decide to attack Southern California while he and his Marine co-workers are on a camping trip.

Positive things first. I liked how the author depicted his warm Hispanic family life with his own family and his parents and his brother's family. Military life both on the front and while at home was depicted with humor and authentic language.

The action scenes were exciting and written with word pictures that brought the reader to the front lines.

I was afraid that this was going to be a preachy religious book because of the cover but it was not but the main characters do exhibit very ethical behavior in keeping with the traditions of the US Military. In fact, if you have a problem with colorful language, the language is how Marines speak at times and is appropriate for a novel about the Marine Corps. (There is plentiful deployment of the F-Bomb.)

The primary negative was that he really needed an editor. There were some strained sentences and sometimes the idiomatic English came out wrong such as the phrase "he ordered to" rather than he gave orders or he ordered. An editor would have caught the clumsy language.

The scenario is brings forth to start the action is a bit unrealistic but it did bring some amusing scenes such as combat with in indoor malls.

The book is also fairly short due to the fact that the type face is very large so it is more of a novella size than a 200 page book.

These are quibbles but some people may appreciate the description.
