Michael Wallace just keeps getting better and better.  This is another winner in the growing stack of novels.  I knew before I started reading that Mr. Wallace would keep me in his grip - he never lets me down.  But I was unprepared for just how fast and furious the book would move.  The action never stopped.  The characters were not only compelling but I cared for them quickly.  I was saddened at the ugliness of war - reminds me of what my son experienced in the army, yet Mr. Wallace showed the humanity while describing that ugliness of war.  I cannot begin to describe all the times I held my breath as I read, how often I wanted to close my eyes to the brutality yet unable to stop.  Mr. Wallace's talent with words kept me reading, as well as wondering if human nature would show there is hope.  As often as the main characters were tempted to take the easy way out and just leave everyone, I was so proud of the outcome!  I would hope I would be that strong of character if I was ever tested that hard.  By the end, I wanted the same as every end to a Michael Wallace novel - I wanted MORE MORE MORE.  Mr. Wallace - you truly are an author who takes me places I'd never think of going, and making me so grateful I took the trip with you.  Highly recommended - even if you are like me and not a "war" reader.  Read this book - you won't be sorry!
