The author wanted his book to be reviewed by combat vets and here are some of the results. You can't go wrong with this book and below are some good reasons why. This is one novel you can't put down. I'm convinced "The Last Ghostrider" will soon become a Vietnam War classic.

"When I thought it couldn't get any funnier it did and I laughed till I cried, then it hit me like a freight train with the reality of the war, reminding me we are just kids in uniform putting our lives on the line. This is a soldier's book expressed through a soldier's eyes, not a career officer's self serving after action report."

"...The Last Ghostrider, while a fictionalized account of Sgt Fusco's personal view of his life in the Army and the war he chose to participate in, is set in real places and recounts real events that actually happened. As a result it is a very compelling journey, riveting in its ability to grasp the reader's attention and hold it, making him wonder what is the next adventure our Remington Raider will encounter. Fusco encounters a myriad of situations that will make the reader feel the emotion and intensity of the situation, visualize the hazardous terrain of II Corps, and understand those emotions that can only be experienced by the individual soldier in combat. The Last Ghostrider accurately captures the esprit of the unit, their commitment to mission and their fellow Ghostriders."

"Reading this book was an honest and humorous journey from civilian life to the Army and the Vietnam War from the perspective of a middle class American Caucasion male who was trying to do the right thing at the wrong time, just like me."

~ Capt. Daniel White, (Ghostrider 26)
U.S. Army, Ret.

"...a tantalizing depiction of a soldier's journey through his war within a war. Sgt Fusco's experiences in Vietnam are illustrated in a way that the reader feels as if they are standing in his shadow, walking and fighting as he walks and fights. Because of this you become inspired to continue reading to gain exclusive access to The Last Ghostrider's mind, loaded with vivid memories and thrilling emotions. Sgt Fusco's ability to stay "grounded" throughout his `ride' is what allows any reader to relate to him, be drawn to his experiences, and most of all his survival. ...not much has changed in the Military in the last 38 years, except the faces! (Reading The Last Ghostrider) ...is like having your finger on the trigger of a revolver loaded with memories and emotions! A Soldier's war... buried within a country's war..."

"It's a book that's both crazy fun and frightening. Full of surprises that change directions about as fast as you can read. One minute you're laughing and the next minute you're experiencing the fear of combat. It grabs your interest through its humor and characters, then shoots you into the dark real world of the Vietnam War and its affects on a soldier's soul. As a former combat soldier I can completely relate to The Last Ghostrider."

"Ghostrider possesses an uncanny insight into the soul of young soldiers, revealing their innocence, susceptibility, and lethality. It takes you there and holds you, forcing you to remember what you love and hate about war. It's not your usual war novel."
