From Publishers Weekly

Mixing high- and low-tech espionage, Air Force missions and politics into a credible and exciting plot with attractive characters and breakneck action, Herman's latest (after Power Curve, 1997) is a sure winner. When a Sudanese terrorist group is discovered to be almost capable of dispersing the Ebola virus ("the poor man's atomic bomb"), two Americans are sent on a secret B-2 mission to destroy the underground Sudanese lab?then are captured, tortured and almost certainly doomed. At the same time, in Missouri, Bradley Jefferson, an outstanding, African American Muslim Air Force captain, is charged with having passed mission details to the enemy. Trial lawyer and Air Force Reservist Hank Sutherland is recalled to active duty to prosecute Jefferson and is almost immediately plunged into a complex swirl of suspicious characters and conflicting motives. Adding nightclub strippers, FBI agents, a ruthless demagogue with sights on the presidency and a mysterious presidential adviser with a big, smart computer at his disposal, Herman keeps all of his plots spinning and readers of military adventure on the edge of their seats.

From Library Journal

Look for major advertising for this new thriller from Herman, a member of the USAF for 21 years and author of the successful Power Curve (LJ 4/15/97). Here, a court martial after the crash of a B-2 bomber gets complicated.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Against All Enemies, Fév 24 2003
This review is from: Against All Enemies (Mass Market Paperback)
More like 2 and and a half stars would be an appropiate rating. In Richard Herman's eighth novel, a B-2 is sent to destroy a chemical weapons plant in Sudan, but the mission goes wrong and results in the B-2 pilots being captured and an Air Force officer back in the US going on trial for supposedly having leaked information of the mission. Overall, this was a rather dispointing book from Herman who is capable of writing a lot better stuff then this. The only portion of the book that really sustained my interest was a subplot involving the Army's Delta Force mounting a rescue operation to get the pilots out. The rest was very slow paced and seemed to drag on. Very little attention or characterization is given to the main character, a government prosecuter, or any others for the most part, and there is the ridiculous inclusion of a "super computer". Read Force of Eagles, Firebreak, or Edge of Honor instead, all far superior Herman books.

This review is from: Against All Enemies (Mass Market Paperback)
This is my first time to read this author. I enjoyed the book very much. It is very interesting and although it was difficult to keep some of the characters straight, because of the many sub-plots, I never wanted to put it down. His characters are likeable and his plots intriguing. I'm looking forward to reading more of his books.

This review is from: Against All Enemies (Mass Market Paperback)
I understood the basic concept. I understood the idea that in attempting to blow up a Sudanese sight, two B-2 pilots were captured, tortured, and a rescue was planned. I even understood the minute intricacies of the rescue plan. But why was the character called "Meredith" never explained or developed? What was his part in the whole thing? Were there two stories going on? I think the author attempted to mix politics with action/adventure and failed. Technicalities and legalese were mixed and confusing as well. In all, it was a very difficult story to follow. Many pages I read just because they were there, and I felt as though if I read them over and over again I still wouldn't get it. If you are truly bored to tears and there is no other book available, you might enjoy some of this book. Otherwise, forget it. It sucks.

Richard Hermann comes through again with a great story concept. Although not as tight a read as his previous works, I still found this an outstanding book.
