I managed to get a free copy of this book in a Kindle promotion and boy was I glad that I did snap it up, you bet I was. Although this is not the type of book that I usually go for, but I was eager to burst out of my comfort zone and read something completely different and something which would blow my socks off and I found it in this fantastic tale of men fighting a war and fighting each other and fighting demons. What more could you want to make a book packed with `on-the-edge-of-your-seat' stuff? It was the book's description that got me thinking that I'd want to read this from the moment I discovered it, since it mentions dragons and the Vietnam War which is two topics that I'm really interested in. I also love a great action movie and this is exactly what it reminded me of as I could easily picture the brilliantly written scenes which were described so well that I was right there with them, also fighting for my life too. You got to know the characters like kin as they each had their own distinctive personalities which made you root for them individually to survive this horrific ordeal. But which one will get out of this alive and if not, how will they die? This vividly written and fast paced book made the words simply step off the page and got right inside my head to let my captive imagination run free as I felt the fear and smelt the death and suffered the violence that was assaulted on my mind, so you really need to read it for yourself to see what I mean about how exciting and downright thrilling it is. I cannot praise this book enough or Peter Hallett for the sheer impact and entertainment value that this story brought to me. So count me in for the next one as I hope to read more enthralling works from this author sooner rather than later.
