This was a fun and interesting read. While a work of fiction, at least the training and tatics had to be based on fact, and given Mr. Kelly's backround I don't have a hard time believing everything. The political actions are skillfully woven into the novels storyline making the "action" complete. If you're interested in the Gulf area this should be required reading.

Mr Kelly may have quite a bit of inside knowledge of the SEALs and the Air Commandos, but none of that knowledge is in evidence in this reed thin novel. Most of the people that read this book and think that Mr Kelly knows and displays everything, just show you how little they know about the military in general and how much less they know about special operations in particular.

Having said that, it was still an entertaining book. Not high literature, but hey, you can't have everything.

After read this book I simply had to stop and drop you few lines !!!!!! Orr Kelly wrote the most enjoyable history I had never read before, he could put action and political problems and he also showed that soldiers have family problems.

I found this book by Mr. Kelly quite interesting. I do a lot of travelling with my job, and frequent airports regularly. When you can filter out busy airport noises and become fully engrossed in a book it has to be good. I plan on reading all your books Mr. Kelly, Keep up the good work!
