I find this book difficult to rate, as it is incredibly fake. The way the military acted and Reacted in this book is so over militarized and cheesy, it is not even funny. However, de story is very good. The characters are magnetically interesting, and, as you read along, it gets harder and harder to stop. The plot Develops Quickly and winds up with at incredibly tense ending. If you are current or ex-military, expect a good laugh, and a good read. If You Are Not, expect a good read anyway
