I read this book when it first came out, in only a sitting or two, and the storyline and characters still stick out in my mind today. I love Stephen Coonts material, and although this was his first effort, it still stands up as a very well written yarn, and the points he was making about trying to fight a war with our hands tied behind our back still ring true to this day. Just insert Kharzai of Afghanistan in for the Russians, and you'll totally understand the point. So Kudos to Coonts for authoring a book that is still fresh in my mind over 25 years later. It's well worth the time you'll invest, and who knows, it may turn you into a Coonts fan. He's done plenty of good writing since then!
