To extract the sadistic sons of Saddam Hussein from under the noses of the Republican Guard, Roscoe G. Spangler--a master of black warfare and dirty ops--gathers a fighting force of former Delta men. But even as they go into battle, allegiances are shifting, and power plays are being made that could endanger the mission--and seal their own doom.

Prelude to Awesome reading!!,
By Eric the Red (Sunny California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prelude to War: A Delta Force Novel (Delta Force Novels) (Paperback)
To put it simple, this John Harriman delievers the good in a variety of ways.
I've read both novels in this series and loved them both. There better be a continuation. Robert Nightrunner rocks!! A must read for anybody who loves character driven and loads of intense action reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Prelude To Excitement!!,
By Apollo Reader (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prelude to War: A Delta Force Novel (Delta Force Novels) (Paperback)
John Harriman's newest novel, Prelude to War, tells the story of a Delta Force mission just before the US war starts in Iraq.
Now being led by Captain Poole - a character from the 1st book - the small DF team infiltrates and captures Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay. And then a race ensues, for the DF team to get out of Iraq with the sons of Hussein, before Hussein's army and specialized soldiers called the Desert Wolves finds them. Then comes Robert Night Runner. The Amerindian Marine from Force Recon. The only stand-out of the team from the first novel - Operation Michael's sword. Spangler is brought out of retirement in the beginning of the novel, (Which is one that is both gross, memorable, and laugh out loud funny at times!), and teams up with an unusual couple to work together for a secret mission inside Iraq. As the Delta Force team gets trapped inside Iraq, Spangler goes out and recruits the unusual assortment of heroes: Baker, the man in the last novel who was the only one able to infiltrate the Al Queda organization, and getting close to Osama Bin Laden. Who now has only one hand to fight with, having lost the other in the 1st novel. And our illustrious and best character of them all - SGT Robert Night Runner. The change in him from the last novel will surprise many readers. I won't ruin it. But suffice it to say - it will entertain you on several levels. The last 1/3 of the novel is the best part. As Baker and Night Runner enter Iraq, the awesome action and adventure never let up. Nor do the many surprises in store for the reader. The ending left me both breathless - and wanting to read the next installment right away - just to find a certain answer. Rober Night Runner's vision, along with his reawakening in the desert of Iraq, is one that will surely entertain you, and stay with you. for some time to come. A must read.
