For a buck and all the positive review, I figured, what the heck. I would have gladly paid the hardback price for this book, it's that good. Since Clancy has decided to produce drivel, Edwards fills the gap left quite nicely. Nicely researched and without too much military jargon, this is a fast paced action adventure with a very warm human side. It was as well edited as any Kindle edition I've read so it's technically enjoyable as well as being just plain good reading. You will not be disappointed in either this book or his second effort. I'm anxiously awaiting the third installment.
