"Action packed... maintains a substantial level of suspense that keeps the reader glued to each page" -- Doug Coyle for Wildland Firefighter Magazine, May 2002

5.0 out of 5 stars Firebombers Incorporated, July 26, 2002
By Doug Coyle (Springfield, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firebombers Incorporated (CD-ROM)
Michael Archer, the author of Firebombers Incorporated, brings together an impressive list of people to assist him in writing this book. With this he does a good job of integrating reality with the fantasy of what might be. The story in this novel is born when personal tragedy strikes billionaire Joseph Talon, a very successful businessman. After the loss of his family to wildfire, he launches into a 'hobby' within his corporate structure that soon takes on such a passionate force that it becomes part of the corporate objective. In this effort, he develops a firefighting strategy that he thinks would have made a difference in the outcome of his personal tragedy. He brings real systems with leading-edge technology and a pound of future ideas together and develops a very plausible but expensive resource that has the ability to respond quickly to fires which expand rapidly into major large fires which can quickly threaten many homes and human lives.

The book is action packed and maintains a substantial level of suspense that keeps the reader glued to each page with anticipation of what is to come. However, there are two mysteries that are developed and carried throughout the book that are not answered by the time you turn the last page. Even though you can lay the book down and mentally review the wonderful story you have just completed, it is hard to just leave these two mysteries at this point. My first reaction was that there might very well be a sequel in the works. If so, I anxiously wait to get my eyes on the pages to see not only where these unsolved mysteries lead, but to see how Firebombers Incorporated is woven into the future of fire management.

Doug Coyle for Wildland Firefighter Magazine, May 2002.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Entertaining, July 9, 2002
By Kimberly Ranocchia (Anaheim, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firebombers Incorporated (CD-ROM)
Firebombers Incorporated is an excellent book for a first time writer. The details on firefighting and the techniques used are very interesting to read. The book is entertaining enough that you don't get bogged down in details. The story has enough plot twists and non-fire related elements to make the book very enjoyable to all. You get so involved in the characters that you don't want the story to end. I hope there is a sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fire Bombers Inc., September 26, 2008
What a great book.
Mr Archer blends in action, tech, and solid back rounds into forest fire fighting. This uniqiue book is based around a a elite Forest fire fighting company that has the potental to come true someday.
It makes for a great book, mant ideas in this book are coming into play, right now.
Mr. Archer has a great bake round on foresrty fires and management. He is a true profesional in this field and his words are based on facts and inside info on wild fire operations and control.
A great book, read it and so he hard it is too work on a wildfire.
Thank you,
Dave
