  • It was hard to keep focused on it. At times it was fast paced, allot of it seemed unecessary and odd.

    It was an okay book. Some of his others are better. There seemed to be allot of things included that made no sense to the story, page fillers. I will buy other Dale Brown books though. So No biggie. Even Mark Greaney and Vince Flynn while he was alive put out a dud every once in a while.
