I absolutely love this author's style of story telling when presenting the stories of the clone special forces. Her characters have depth and her unique professional experience reported in her bio really shows through when presenting the clones and Mando warriors as tight knit groups of professional soldiers living and fighting for each other. Her stories just have a realism to them that most ...             Brotherhood of Warriors: Behind Enemy Lines with a Commando in One of the World's Most Elite Counterterrorism ...24 reviews Aaron Cohen, Douglas Century Ecco, 2008 a good read I found this book to be very interesting. It takes you thru the life of an individual who leaves CA to return to Israel to become a special operator. It was interesting to read of the differences between American and Israeli training methods. Easy to read, well worth the money.             The Warrior Elite: The Forging of SEAL Class 22890 reviews Dick Couch Three Rivers Press, 2003 Outstanding!!! I thought that I knew alot about the Navy SEALS and their training, but boy was I wrong. Dick Couch did a great job at taking us from day one at Indoc of 114 gung-ho soldiers, down to the last remaining 20 that actually made it through and were secured by the BUD/S staff. This was a quick read, mostly because i refused to put it down. I felt like I was in there with the soldiers, sweating and ...             True Colors (Star Wars: Republic Commando)27 reviews Karen Traviss Del Rey, 2007 Traviss raises the bar for SW novels True Colors is what most SW books are not: intelligent, dramatic, internally realistic, and morally complex. A sequel to the previous Republic Commando novel, Triple Zero, True Colors follows Delta and Omega Squads as they seek to capture scientist Ko Sai, the master geneticist of the Republic's clone army. Having fled Kamino with records of the cloning program, she's now being hunted by ...             Across the Spectrum: Understanding Issues in Evangelical Theology27 reviews Gregory A. Boyd, Paul Rhodes Eddy Baker Academic, 2002 Get some perspective, people! It shouldn't have to be said, but since no one has REALLY said it, I will. Do you negative reviewers actually believe that the authors hold all of these views? And that it is their intent for you to just pick any of them (cafeteria-style) and that they're all equal? Do you think that they crafted all of these positions? From many of the comments, some of you are placing the blame on Boyd and ...             Hard Contact (Star Wars: Republic Commando)61 reviews Karen Traviss Del Rey, 2004 Quite simply amazing Somewhere in Ms. Traviss' background there was a lot of time spent talking to and with operators on the front lines and the bonds they develop. I don't know where or who she got it from, but I thank them that they gave a talented author an insight into what it is we do and thereby gave us a voice. Traviss' Hard Contact is a true Clone War novel, viewed through the Clone warrior's eyes. It ...             Marine Sniper: 93 Confirmed Kills210 reviews Charles Henderson Berkley Trade, 2001 A page turning read This book will make you sweat like you are in the jungle with Hathcock, his bravery, the tactics, the killing of he NVA officer, alone as he slowly crawls thru the jungle and grass, day after day far behind enemy lines! his surprise sniping attack on NVA regulars as they crossed a berm in the middle of a rice field, his ingenuity using the 50 cal machine gun as a sniper rifle with one round ...             Order 66 (Star Wars: Republic Commando)1 review Karen Traviss Del Rey, 2008 it's commando time of the clones! the 1st time the clone/stormtroopers turn against the jedi/generals in the book but not on the dvd itself well, yes, revenge of the sith, but reading the clones of the republic/empire,it's very cool to find out more about 66 executed from none other than palpatine towards the clones against the jedi.             Killer Elite: The Inside Story of America's Most Secret Special Operations Team31 reviews Michael Smith St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 A piercing, illuminating, and recent military history of the shadows and glimmers only touched on by Hollywood I can pretty well guarantee you that Tom Clancy has already read this book - it assures us that the people who need to die have been doing just that in the US/British war against terror worldwide. (I've personally thought about this theme of Clancy's re: playing God but it's a non-issue for me in the present context). The rules have changed for the military - mercilessly exposed are also the ...             Storming Las Vegas: How a Cuban-Born, Soviet-Trained Commando Took Down the Strip to the Tune of Five ...15 reviews John Huddy Ballantine Books, 2008 This Review Does No Justice To The Book What a story...one of my top picks from the non-fiction genre. Action, adventure, brutality, justice. Amazing story.             No Excuse Leadership: Lessons from the U.S. Army's Elite Rangers19 reviews Brace E. Barber Wiley, 2004 Going past known limits I really enjoyed reading this book. It gives you the ground-level stories of Ranger School from ten men who survived the experience and pushed past their mental and physical limits to graduate. Those ten stories are not only enjoyable, they are often surprising. For example, one mentioned an experience where he dug some food out of a trash can when he was ordered to sick call because of the ...             Inside Delta Force21 reviews Eric Haney Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2007 Great Book Gave to my father for his birthday. He said one of the best books he ever read. Fast reading, was finished with it within two days.             A Faith for All Seasons: Historic Christian Belief in Its Classical Expression5 reviews Theodore Martin Dorman B&H Publishing Group, 2001 Clear & Concise Overview of Christian Doctrine in Historical Perspective Dorman has given us a fine piece of work here. The book is organized by theological topic but each topic is discussed historically. In this way, it provides a helpful combination of systematic theology and historical theology. It provides a wonderful way of comparing historical perspectives on various topics. In chapter 12, for example, he discusses the doctrine of salvation, beginning by ...             Contemporary Mathematics for Business and Consumers (with CD-ROM)5 reviews Robert Brechner South-Western College Pub, 2005 great book, alot of examples I think this book is great, becareful not to get the instructors edition, I got that edition by mistake then ordered a student editon used, it did not come with the cd like it said it would.             To Be a U. S. Army Ranger (To Be A)9 reviews Russ Bryant Zenith Press, 2003 A great Brief guide The picture quality in this book is excellent. The book also does an excellent job of keeping the pictures and information relevant and in good chronological order. Having gone through Basic and Airborne School down in Fort Benning it was great to look back and recognize so much of what was being covered. So you can be assured that these are pics of the actual places being talked about and not ...             SOG: The Secret Wars of America's Commandos in Vietnam104 reviews John Plaster Onyx, 1998 Outstanding This exceptional story of US commandos and their allies the Montagnards, called the Yards, who were fiercely enemies of the North Vietnamese communists, is written by one of a three tours veterans in the SOG.

These true elite fighters who ...             Weight Training: Steps to Success7 reviews Thomas R. Baechle, Roger W. Earle Human Kinetics Publishers, 2005 Learn To Design Your Own Weight Training Programs I'm fortunate to have a brother with a master's degree in exercise science and a lot of experience in strength training, as he's always designed my weight training programs for me. But being the self-reliant kind of person that I am, and not wanting to impose too much on my brother's time, I asked him to tell me what one book he would recommend to someone who wanted to learn how to design their ...             Masters of Chaos: The Secret History of the Special Forces35 reviews Linda Robinson PublicAffairs, 2005 well worthy A very easy to read tense and exciting account of a snapshot in the life of these fairly extraordinary human beings. Written a bit in the style of b/hawk down it gives a glimpse of the other sides of the soldiers involved. A must for any admirer of good special forces lit.The book also provides a sneak preview into iraq and afghanistan All in all a great read             Stumbling on Happiness215 reviews Daniel Gilbert Knopf, 2006 Enjoyable read This is a great fun book, and a thorough study on human behavior. Among many of the wonderful discoveries of the author regarding how we experience happiness, I was particularly taken by his remarks on emotional experiences (feelings) based on present information and emotional experiences originated in memory (pre-feelings) and how the mind without awareness is able to mix them up and is not ...             Secret Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines with the Elite Warriors of SOG30 reviews John Plaster NAL Trade, 2005 I couldn't put it down I had chills after reading the first three pages. The action is incredible. I was on pins and needles, like it was all happening for the first time right in front of me. Plaster also conveyed his love for his friends through these pages. There were several places that I cried just for feeling the sacrifice of these incredible, selfless warriors.
