Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Rookie CIA Agent Gene Smitz has been assigned the mission of recovering the Arc Light 4 (a spy plane that supposedly went down in Saudi Arabia almost a decade before) and freeing its original crew of 13, who are believed to still be held hostage in a fortress outside of Baghdad. After an intensive training session on a secret island in the Florida Keys, Smitz's ad hoc interservice military unit sets out for combat in the Middle East, armed in their high-tech choppers. The troops fight to take down the fortress of a reclusive, 400-pound billionaire named Zim, who now has the spy plane, but just when their tour of duty seems imminently victorious, something goes disastrously wrong. Maloney's (author of the Wingman series) technical descriptions of aircraft and weaponry and fluent militaristic terminology are authentic, but they are not enough to compensate for his underdeveloped characters, who are clearly secondary to the action. (Oct.)

4.0 out of 5 stars A military marvel!, February 1, 2000
By Betti Trapp (Riyadh Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews
I LOVED this story. It's action packed, the characters are knowable AND likeable, the story line is clear with no fluff, and the plot is very interesting. This book captures your attention almost from the very first page, and readers of military novels will really enjoy the pace. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five was because I thought the ending was a little unclear. Still, the author took a nice twist with the plot at the end, and the book is definitely worth it! Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Copters and more, April 4, 2000
By Bill Casey (Reno, Nevada) - See all my reviews
I read this one AFTER Chopper Ops 2...the out of sequence was a bit strange, but this one is filled with as much action and the plot twists were interesting.

4.0 out of 5 stars A new style, January 31, 2000
By Eric Lehman (Memphis,Tennessee, USA) - See all my reviews
This book was not what I expected. Though it was better. It has a superstitious, UFO, eerie type feel. It really is a wonderful book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed it!
This was a good book and I really enjoyed it. If this is your kind of book, read "Arc Light", by Eric L. Harry. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars A terrible book
This is by far the worst book I've ever read in my entire life.

I'm a big reader of military history/fiction, and this is an insult to every book ever written about combat. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
Chopper Ops was an easy read and fast paced...but it could have been better. It seems more along the lines of Wingman which I like...up until the the other world stuff. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy reading
A little cartoonish, but I wasn't expecting Tom Clancy quality so I wasn't disappointed. I actually plan on buying the next in the series when it's published :)

1.0 out of 5 stars Not THE worst military techno-thriller ever.
