Book Description

April 3, 2007
It's been decades since the United States pulled their troops out of Vietnam--but many believe the POWs and soldiers listed as MIA still linger, prisoners of a maniacal regime who refuse to give up. Colonel Leonard Oates and Army Major turned magazine publisher, Robert Green, have made the extraction of these remaining POWs their lifelong mission. When solid evidence emerges that at least two American soldiers are still being tortured and held prisoner at a camp nestled among the borders of Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, they will do anything, pay any price, to save these men.
            Rossen and Tommy are two former Marine Sergeants who went into business for themselves--as assassins.  They have contracted with every branch of the Armed Forces, but they have two requirements, the price has to be right, and their targets have to be bad--really bad.  Heeding the call of the Colonel and the Major, Rossen and Tommy find themselves deep in the ruins of Angkor Wat, battling for their lives and hunting for this remote prison camp, but what they find is well beyond their worst nightmare. . . .

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Fun, Literary Slaughter..., July 9, 2007
By 
J. Scott Moore (Longmont, CO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Shooter (Mass Market Paperback)
Well, c'mon, I wasn't really expecting literature here, and I doubt you are either. Fortunately, literary slaughter isn't all that is going on is this yarn. This book is full of fire fights, torture, covert operations...it's got all kinds of good ol' masculine action in it. But some of the dialog is just terrible. There aren't really any deep plots, it is a pretty straight forward story, though the ending did surprise me a bit. It's not a happy tale; then again the subject matter isn't light. See the Amazon synopsis above for story basics. That said, it is a good, quick read, good for a trip or just an easy, entertaining read.
