I'll get my petty gripe out the way early and say that for me, the character of Jacobs was at times a little too open and honest; expressing his deepest thoughts and feelings to near strangers, and this put a faint question mark over his credibility. However, this habit of vocalizing his inner monologue works very well in the later parts of the book given the position he finds himself in, so perhaps I am being too harsh in that assessment.As far as the rest of the story goes, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The premise draws on the myths and legends that abound in many cultures, and in the remote jungles and chaos of the Vietnam war, the Dragons roam freely.You can't help but like the characters in the book and the author brings their diverse personalities to life wellThe story is fast paced and filled with action and gore. Not one for the faint-hearted, but I found it a difficult book to put down.I will certainly buy any other offerings from Peter Hallett
