About this listen

It is 1964. The Vietnam War has begun to escalate, its new style of battle demanding new weapons and tactics and men who can use them. Overnight, it seems, the U.S. Army must scramble to create its first-ever Air Assault Division, a force critical to its chances of success, but the obstacles facing it are staggering: untrained men, mysteriously failing aircraft, vicious inter-service rivalries.

As the hostilities increase, the warriors and the women who love them are swept into the struggle, their personal and professional lives twisting and intertwining as they race against time — and the fortunes of war.

Another excellent Griffin military novel. Most of it rings true to this old retired aviator. For the most part the narration was excellent but there were irritating things that detracted - mispronounced place names and military jargon - this is not unimportant because it brings the story to a jarring stop every time it happens. I suggest that all readers take the time to learn the correct pronunciations before recording or at least as he/she encounters an unfamiliar place name or acronym.

Fun Read

There are acronyms that need to get pronounced correctly. For instance, "DCSOPS" is not pronounced letter by letter. It's DCS Opps. Drives me crazy.

A non-military person narrating the book.

I have loved this series immensely, though a few of the books more than others, and this one is one of my favorites. A wonderful main character and story line. I hated for it to end!

Another great one!

Great series, I found myself rewiinding for either the actions of the interesting characters or for the creative prose from the author. Craig Lowell is one of the most interesting characters to be created

Sad to see it end

This story and the novels that preceded it are excellent. The character development is such that you really come to know and care about them. I have read this series of novels several times over the last 40 years. Whenever I sit down to enjoy the story again I feel like I'm visiting old friends.

W.E.B. is getting redundant. This book and the previous book in the series run parallel and are too often redundant. Although both are excellent, I would have preferred a single, longer book. Or, two books covering all the action in sequence.

The redundant one.

In any great series there’s a few books that rate better than most. This is one of those books.

One of the best......
