Review
"I was an infantry foot soldier in Vietnam, one of Nixon's hired guns. This author has tons of talent. He put me in the thick of "fighting," directing me with clipped dialogue and terse description along a well-drawn mental path...." Eric Wilder -- Prairie Sunset
"This is a very original story - it is difficult to believe that it is a work of fiction because your descriptions are so vivid...." Lizilev
"I'm there now, reading with added interest - my son-in-law is with the Royal Marines, in Helmand. It makes a change to read about what is happening in Afghanistan from someone who is actually there, providing a genuine, local perspective for the story, as opposed to the limited information we obtain from the media..." Neil
"An interpreter character is something that I rarely see in novels, which is a pity. Coupled with the setting the pitch promises a unique read. Congratulations...."
