Description
Courage is often enough to drive a soldier forward, to cause him to climb out of his foxhole and face enemy fire. But it takes something else, something more than courage to keep HIM going when every instinct, every shred of reason dictates that he do otherwise.
This hard truth becomes self-evident when the men belonging to Recon Team Kilo, a Special Forces A team operating deep in hostile territory, is overwhelmed by indigenous forces. Stripped of their leadership and unit cohesion, the survivors struggle to stay faithful to a code of conduct in the face of brutal imprisonment and an uncertain future. Isolated from their brethren, each man is forced to rely upon his own skills and strengths.
Some rise to the occasion with a defiance that is unnerving to their captors and some draw upon an inner grace that sees them through their darkest hours. Others, alone and suffering, find themselves wavering as they are hammered by an unending drumbeat of depraved cruelty.
The challenges faced by those selected to rescue the men of Recon Team Kilo are no less daunting, the catalysts that propel them and see them through any diverse. For Robert Delmont, Special Ops Plans Officer, a compelling need for atonement colors his recommendations. He steers the Army’s senior leadership toward a course of action that allows him to become an active participant.
Courage is not a factor for the commander of the unit selected to execute Delmont’s plan. A dedicated professional, Lieutenant Colonel Harry Shaddock has no doubt that the men under his command will follow him anywhere–even into an operation designed to save fellow soldiers while putting his own in harm’s way.
While Dermont, Shaddock, and other members of the armed forces bend their collective efforts to save the survivors of Recon Team Kilo, the families of those men must endure a trial no less daunting. They must find a way to deal with their fears and their emotions as they stand on the sidelines watching their loved ones killed off, one by one, by a ruthless foe in a contest that demands more of them than any had imagined. In order to triumph, all must reach out and draw upon something within, something more than courage.
User’s Reviews
Review “Harold Coyle is the best natural storyteller I know.”-Tom Clancy
Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:
⭐ First off it’s #3 of the “Nathan Dixon” series and he isn’t even in a cameo. Second, when the battle is on, it’s good. Lastly, way to much mumbo jumbo on military theory. There are pages and pages of it. Feels like filler and by the 60% read mark, I was rolling though pages of fill to get to the meatHarold, what a let down from the first two.
⭐ After the first 2 ‘Dixon’ volumes, I am surprised at the errors …Beretta vs Barrett when referring to M82A1, calling the Browning .50 cal M2 the ‘Ma 2’… and the beat goes on. Not what I expected from this author. This is the second or third time I have read this series, but I didn’t remember this many errors in the first chapter.
⭐ If you’re looking of another Nathan Dixon book, you can move on. There’s nothing to see here. The story of RT Kilo is a good read, just not the one I expected when I bought the book.
⭐ One of the reasons I love H. Coyle is his talent of giving the reader no more information than they need to appreciate the events they are about to read. Any more information than necessary just clutters the landscape and bogs down the reader.
⭐ I am a huge fan of Harold Coyle but this book reminds me of the junk books that Tom Clancy continues to spew out. I find it hard to believe that Coyle even wrote this! There is little character development and the story line is sporadic at best. Getting thru the first 100 pages can be mind numbing and doesn’t get much better after that. This book is a huge disappointment for the Coyle fan and one would hope that whom ever ghosted this book for him goes away and he once again puts pen to paper. Don’t waste your money on this unless you plan on using it to start a fire.
⭐ I find it strange that highly trained troops like the Rangers, even when exhausted, cannot react automatically in a crisissituation. No one answers rario calls, they panic. One unit is placed at the opposite end of the village, to whatpurpose? The Rangers on the rescue, must have been just as stressed, but they performed quite differently!Perhaps it was a matter of leadership!
⭐ Good work, not his best, I did not find myself caring to much about any of the characters in the story. The story itself was well written. It certainly is worth buying and reading but this is no Team Yankee.
⭐ Very interesting view of conflict in the Middle East
⭐ I” ve read most of Mr. Coyle’s other books and enjoyed EVERY ONE. He writes in the tradition of Tom Clancy and other great writers.hly reccomend his books to thers.
⭐ he’s the best
