This is not a book that I would normally read. I did think that it looked good. I loved this book. It was able to keep me reading and wanting more. This author worked very hard to tell a good story. The best part is that it could also have been a true story.
The descriptions of the terrain in Afghanistan were amazing. I could imagine the mountains and the ruggedness just by the way it was described. I found the descriptions in the book to be very lifelike.
The story was great. I thought that the way it was written showed that this author had put a lot of thought into how he wanted the book to flow. The descriptions of the torture endured by the characters were amazing as well. The idea of having all of the fingernails removed was interesting and made me almost feel the pain myself. That would hurt horribly.
Seeing a crew member who had been decapitated by the terrorists would be a horrible sight. I found that this made me feel bad for the main character. He had been through a lot by that point of the story and to see that would have hurt him again. He had not wanted to leave the crew but was given orders to do so.
This book was well written and able to hold my attention. I loved the book and would recommend it to anyone.
