Product Description

Bobby Autry is one of the best in the world at what he does. An elite combat chopper pilot, Autry has been tested under fire and always come out on top. But his new assigment might change all that. He's been tasked to lead a new unit of the elite Night Stalkers, a unit that can outfly the rest of the pilots in SOAR (Special Operations Air Regiment), outshoot the best gunners in the SEALs or Deltas, and operate as indepdently as the most lawless gureillas. The results: an experimental unit expected to fail: the X–Battalion. It won't be easy. The pilots he has at his command are the craziest, most dangerous, most unpredictable men in the military, men capable of thinking beyond rules and regulations, but men equally capable of breaking them. Autry will need every one of them if they are to survive their first mission. North Korean dictator Kim Il Sung had procurred a weapon of apocalyptic destruction, and all intelligence points to his willingness to use it within the next 48 hours. If he deploys the weapon, he will poison the entire planet with radioactive fallout. The only way to stop him is with a group that can move silently, strike powerfully, and not worry about breaking a few rules along the way. The only way to stop him: X–Battalion.

As soon as i finished the 1st chapter, I knew I had a good read in my hands.

And it just got better after that. I look forward to this new writer's next endeavor.

If you like fun and exciting reads, then this one is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jack Shane where have you been all my life, November 23, 2005
Ok, Great book, a must read. I didnt put this down once I started. I hope there is more in the pipeline for this series. After a good book like this I always wonder why Hollywood can't get a decent movie out when there are obviously great stories to be told.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Action Great Read, October 1, 2005
Just bought the book, read it in one day. The author begins by immersing the reader into the lifestyle of America's mysterious top-secret TF-160 "Nightstalkers" helicopter unit; they were major players in the "Blackhawk Down" tragedy. But about one quarter of the way into the story, there is a very interesting twist that makes this book go above and beyond the typical military action-thriller. From there, the plot is like a speeding locomotive that doesn't stop, or even slow down, until the very last page. Lots of action and especially dramatic helicopter flying, but a sort of ghost story too. Very unusual, but well worth the read. I'm looking forward to Shane's next book.
