Back To Somalia

This book was recommended by a friend. Normally I am a Nicholas Sparks fan for fiction- but I am so glad that I got this book- it is timely for how it relates to current affairs. The writing is so amazing it made me feel like I was in the co-pilots seat going along for the ride- and having a bit of a romantic piece gave it a piece of a softer side for me as a female reader. It is so evident in the detail of the book that the author writes from a view of having in depth experience about what he has written the details about the flying experience were intriguing as well as the story line of the complexities of international governments- and their rogue players involved in political events. A great book that I could not put down.

Not just for military types. I don’t have any military background or experience, but I found this to be a very exciting read. The author takes you right into the action with his descriptions of the helicopters, the cockpit, the mission, and the people he leads. He also gives the story’s hero “Cajun” a unique appeal by contrasting his southern Louisiana cooking skills and his extreme expertise in all things military. He almost sounds too good to be true! A great story line with plenty of flying machines, interesting people and action this book has it all!

A great read! I really enjoyed the storyline; adventure, military ops, current event drama and of course some romance. A real page turner and I felt like I was along for the ride; and its a fantastic ride. Strap in and hold on
