Book Description
No Turning Back!
The world changed forever on a terrible day in September -- embroiling a great nation in a war for freedom's future. Now a new breed of warrior is armed and ready to leap into the killing fray: DETACHMENT DELTA
The firestorm that altered history has united a family in vengeance. The sons of a military legend -- the man who helped make Delta Force a reality -- know their duty and will not be deterred. Somewhere in the inaccessible mountains of a battered land that suffered tragically under a merciless, dictatorial rule, the world’s #1 criminal is plotting the next outrage against America. The time has come for the Delta ops to strike hard and eliminate the terrorist threat, once and for all. Victory is the only option -- but it will require more than courage, skill, and awesome firepower. Delta Force will have to be as devious, deadly, unpredictable -- and as lucky -- as the enemy they are sworn to destroy.

Waste of money!!!!,
By Lorin Reese (Mountain Home, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Operation Iron Weed (Mass Market Paperback)
The author is clueless. There are many errors. One being a hammer cocked on a Glock pistol, Glocks do not have hammers!! The author got his characters mixed up, he had a character overseas, than back in the states, than back overseas again. It made reading the book very hard to follow.
5.0 out of 5 stars
I liked the book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Operation Iron Weed (Mass Market Paperback)
I dont know why you guys are being so harsh. I think that the book was a bit odd at times but very interesting. The family represented did seem to be a bit too similar, but thats what happens when an entire family is raised only by a military father, they all join the armed services. I also like how he showed how corrupt past presidencies were without using any names. On the whole I think this was a terrific book

This guy is no Clancy...not even close,
By Juan C. Mejia (Chicago, illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Operation Iron Weed (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading this book I found myself wondering if this guy ever "really" spent a day in the Special Forces. Little things like his attention to detail are what bothered me the most. on page 303 he mentions a character carrying a Glock pistol, on page 343 he mentions the Glock again yet in the next paragraph he states " Cassidy cocked the hammer on his double action semi-automatic..." If you could show me the hammer on a Glock I would really appreciate it. Glocks DO NOT have hammers.Also the poorly written "sambo" treatment of the housekeeper was just a bit to stereotypical. I expected her to say " Yes massa no massa". This guy doesn't have a clue. SF or no SF he needs to research his work a little better. Lastly the Kragle family is boring to no end. Lets hope they all die at some family reunion in a future book. Preferably murdered by the housekeeper with the terminal case of EBONICS. DO NOT COMPARE THIS RUBBISH WITH CLANCY
