Review: House in Military Gear
Rating: 4 out of 5

This book had particular interest for me because I am currently living in Cambodia and am all too familiar with the landmine problem here. The author had clearly done his/her homework as the story was chock full of information on mines, how they are used and how they are disposed of. The characters were also well developed and the plot moved along quickly with enough unexpected turns to keep me interested.I know that the theme of the 'wounded warrior' who has to fight their own personal demons to solve a crisis is popular almost to the point of cliche' and I found it a bit overworked here with the protagonist's addiction to opiates. Consider this 'House' in military gear trying to stop a raging terrorist rather than an infectious disease. Aside from that, and the somewhat implausible ending, it was a good read worthy of a few hours of your time.
