Book Description

March 28, 2006

The expert, the fearless, the crazy-the most lethal weapon in the U.S. arsenal

Only the best can make it in X-Battalion, the top-secret experimental arm of the U.S. military's TF-160 Nightstalkers. The mavericks and madmen who fly the highest tech attack helicopters make their own rules as they shuttle CIA spooks and Special Ops commandos to high-risk zones -- and leap into the fight without question whenever the need arises.

But fresh from a successful mission against a Colombian drug lord, XBat finds itself the target of a new and unexpected enemy: fighter jets from a revitalized Venezuelan air force. A brutal new-age SS is coming alive in this volatile South America powderkeg, with the power to start a war and a terrifying weapon to help them win it. But now they've got XBat's rogue warriors on their tail, who are determined to pursue the growing threat from Caracas to Cuba . . . and eliminate it by any means necessary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-moving, great story, action galore, April 12, 2006
By 
Frank Burrell (Aurora, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sky Hunters: Operation Southern Cross (Mass Market Paperback)
Just like the first book of the XBattalion series, "OSC" moves like a race car jammed into fifth gear. The top-secret XBat copter force is ordered to put out several political brush fires in South America, only to discover that one of them might involve nothing less than the fate of the world. All the while, the CIA's multi-billion dollar, ultra-sophisticated spy satellite system is failing, and no one knows why. The two plot lines collide in one of the most unlikliest places on Earth, causing the book's heroes to make an incredibly harrowing last-minute flight to save all. The action scenes are very realistic; the flying sequences are not for the faint of heart. The balancing act that many special forces members must endure between their personal lives and service to their country is also well brought out. According to a web site given on the book's cover -- www.XBattalion.com -- apparently no one really knows who the author Jack Shane is. But obviously, he knows his stuff. I'm looking forward to Book 3.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT 2ND BOOK IN SERIES, April 12, 2006
By 
Stephen C. Minar (LINO LAKES, MN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sky Hunters: Operation Southern Cross (Mass Market Paperback)
THE BOOK STARTED OUT BY GETTING ALL THE STORY LINE PIECES TOGETHER, THEN THE BOOK TOOK OFF LIKE A ROCKET. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW QUICK I MOVED THRU THE BOOK. THE STORY WAS SET IN SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRY, THAT WAS GOING TO ATTACK THE UNITED STATES. THE XBATT HAD TO GO IN AND SAVE THE DAY BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THE AREA. THEY STOPPED THE BAD GUYS BUT IT DID HAVE A COST TO ONE OF THE MEMBERS. WILL THERE BE ANOTHER BOOK ?? I HOPE SO!!
