5.0 out of 5 stars Another "must read" for students of riverine warfare., July 7, 2002

This review is from: The Mud Fox (Paperback)

Robert C. Powers has established himself as the ultimate authority on Viet Nam riverine warfare, a dimension of the Southeast Asia war that's not been documented very completely. THE MUD FOX picks-up where QUESTER leaves off....and it's another page turner. I read this book in a single sitting on a cross country flight....it's action packed, engaging and tough to put down once you begin. Powers writes with the clear authority of one who's been there as he describes Viet Nam and its maze of rivers and canals. We meet again the main characters from QUESTER as well as some intriguing new ones in this work. The combat scenes are vivid and realistic and there's enough factual detail to keep this book believable and historically accurate. THE MUD FOX is a winner and I recommend it highly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than QUESTER--can't wait for the movie, April 25, 2002

This review is from: The Mud Fox (Paperback)

I read Powers' last novel, QUESTER, and thoroughly enjoyed the factual description of the Vietnam river war. MUD FOX is even better! It reads like a Tom Clancy novel in its descriptive style. The difference for me was I understood ALL of what Powers was describing since I was one of those reckless souls who patrolled the Vietnam rivers on Swift Boats with just as reckless and dedicated crew members. The book is fast paced and takes some really unexpected turns--never a dull moment. I started my read and couldn't put MUD FOX down until I had finished it. The characters and the locales are really believable. I thought QUESTER was great, MUD FOX is even better! If you havent had the hair on the back of your neck stand out straight lately, give this book a tryyoull like it a lot! Highly recommended. Can't wait for the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars An action packed page turner with a great love story!, March 31, 2002

This review is from: The Mud Fox (Paperback)

"THE MUD FOX, Ghost of the Jungle" is the sequel to "QUESTER, A Story of the River Warriors". QUESTER is a top notch romantic action novel. THE MUD FOX is as good or better! It is based on real operations (OPERATION SEA FLOAT) and events in the Nam Cam Forest during the Vietnam war. The Mud Fox is a different, spellbinding character. As you read, you become the Mud Fox as he fights his way through the jungle and pursues his love. The romance between the Mud Fox and Brenda McAllister is rough, emotional and tender at the same time. Descriptions of the mangrove jungle will have you swatting at the bugs as you read! The action scenes are realistic, dramatic and frequent.There is never a dull moment. The book starts with a bang and ends with a bigger bang. You'll never forget the haunting, action packed surprise ending! A real page turner!
