Review: Didn't think this series could get better, glad I was wrong.

I approached this with some trepidation as I've been let down quite a bit lately by new releases in long-running series, especially in this genre. I absolutely loved the first three WTF books and hoped the series wouldn't be ruined for my with a weak showing.Instead, what we get is arguably the best book in the series. In a previous review I had described these stories as having a "gritty realism" that made them so compelling, but in this installment Lundy finds another gear. He's able to build real tension and get real emotional responses out of the reader with his story. The characters are still as compelling as ever and are still true to themselves without devolving into one-dimensional caricatures. Lundy's knowledge or weaponry and tactics is what really puts a fine polish on his well-constructed story. He also has accurately captured the general mannerisms and lingo in the way military people interact with each other.As with all of Lundy's books, this one has a proper ending and sets up the next book with what looks to be an intriguing development. Greatly looking forward to book 5.
