Book Description

Avon July 26, 2005

The second instalment of the Home Team series, a combination of Vince Flynn and Richard Marcinko. A select group of former Special Forces operators takes up arms against a Mexican cartel that's moved beyond drugs and diamonds to radioactive isotope smuggling.

Ex–Navy SEAL Ted Reaper packed his bags for Arizona, hoping to visit a good friend and catch up on some much–needed relaxation. But there is no rest for the weary when Reaper uncovers ties to a drug smuggling operation with ties to the Mexican military. As Reaper digs deeper, he discovers that his enemies to the south may be plotting to smuggle something even more dangerous than drugs across the border––terrorists armed with a dirty bomb.

Reaper tried to do things the right way, the legal way, by alerting the proper government officials and letting them deal with the crisis. But the military problem has a political component no one wants to dirty their hands with, and Reaper is asked if he can take the point in the American response. It won't be easy, it won't be official, it won't even be legal, but if the United States is going to be able to stop a threat south of the border, they are going to need to trust Ted "Grim" Reaper to recruit some Spec Ops buddies and win another one for the Home Team.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Read!, October 9, 2005
This review is from: The Home Team: Hostile Borders (Avon) (Mass Market Paperback)
Chief Chalker has a hit with his second Home Team book. The action is fast paced and almost non-stop. The concept of Al Queda terrorists working with drug smugglers is all too real.

My only criticism is the detailed descriptions of the Team's load out for every excursion. It's interesting to hear once, but we don't need to know which socks he's wearing with which tactical holster.

I have to complain about such minute details because that's all that's wrong with the book.

If you like Andy McNabb, Marcinko, or Brad Thor, add Chief Chalker to your list of "must reads"

4.0 out of 5 stars The Threat of Terror is real., November 10, 2005
This review is from: The Home Team: Hostile Borders (Avon) (Mass Market Paperback)

While we watch 'The Minutemen' and debate their worth, illegals of all calibres are slipping into this country at an alarming rate. With Homeland Security unable or unwilling to stem this flow, 'Home Team-Hostile Borders' tells a frightening tale of what can easily be our next worst nightmare.

4.0 out of 5 stars Page-turner, July 28, 2005

This review is from: The Home Team: Hostile Borders (Avon) (Mass Market Paperback)
This fast-paced novel is the second in Chalker and Dockery's "Home Team" series. I'd been looking forward to it, and got through it within two days of picking it up. Like its predecessor ("Undeclared War"), its plot is frighteningly plausible. One of the hallmarks of the series is the technical detail. When our heroes kit up, you'll learn the brand, make, model, and features of every piece of equipment; they stop short of giving you the serial numbers. Non-stop action, written by people who know what they're talking about. (I doubt if the authors are to blame for the unimaginative title.)
