Product Description
Book Description
The enemy has struck with no warning, destroying a U.S. fighting ship and taking Americans hostage. There are lives to be saved and a terrorist threat that must be diffused -- permanently -- so the men of Delta Force are on the move. America's first line of defense in the battle against terrorism, they are trained, armed, and ready to take the fight into the monster's stronghold. And for three heroic brothers born into a legendary warrior dynasty, the elimination of the #1 foe of the civilized world is more than a global imperative -- this war is personal.

This review is from: Detachment Delta: Punitive Strike (Mass Market Paperback)
In addition to the other comments made by those who gave this book a low grade, I too am unable to give more than 2 stars for this book. One star is for the author simply having the wherewithall to write and publish a book. Understanding that this is not an effort to write a prize winning book, I give it a second star for a reasonably entertaining story. My dislikes were for one, the 'Aunt Jamima' treatment of the 'maid/mother figure' in the story. Given a little more character development she could of been a stronger part of the story. And two, though it may be ticky-tack, but last check the navy does not operate F-16s from carriers. But I did enjoy and agree with the two-faced, self-serving, back-stabbing portrail of the politians in the story. The author must know some people in Washington! I was also dissappointed in the loss of the female in the story after playing such a big role through most of the story. It would of been a good book with a little more attention to detail. Could of been a good book with the storyline. Should of been a good book from the jacket info. But it ended up just ok.
