5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, March 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Warriors (Mass Market Paperback)

Warriors is a war novel par excellence. The characters were believable, the military tech was cool, and the story was believable.

5.0 out of 5 stars The building of an air force from the ground up. Great read!, February 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Warriors (Paperback)

Starting with nothing but a promise from a king, John "Pirate" Bennett builds an air force that becomes the class of the world, based on the F-20 Tigershark. The central theme of the book is that "only airpower can defeat airpower", and that it's the pilots that count, not the machine. Lots of flying and fighting!

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Written Novel, September 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Warriors (Mass Market Paperback)

I was unconvinced that American pilots could transform the Saudi Air Force into an air force that could challenge Israel's experienced pilots. The Saudis have made a very weak showing in every war that their air force has been involved in.
