Review: Riveting thriller... military style
Rating: 4 out of 5

This was my first Ronie Kendig story and it was a beauty.This was the fifth story in the 7 Hour series that I've read and it was hard not to compare them all and it's that comparison that has driven my rating of 4. Perhaps if I had read it as a standalone piece I may have rated it a 5.Three aspects of Ronie's writing particularly grabbed me in this story. Firstly, she made me feel like I was in the bunker with Hawk (the main character) and his company. In a military situation this was incredibly compelling as I was ducking for cover as the bullets started flying.The second aspect was how she treated Thomas Constant, the antagonist of the 7 Hour series. Interesting name choice by as he is the one and only "constant" across each story. Is he a bad guy, or not? I don't want to write any more as it may sway future readers. But Ronie managed this character quite differently to the other four that I've read.Third and finally how she introduced malevolent evil in the story was powerful in its reality.Great job Ronie. This is a quick read and at $1.99 is super value for money.
