Customer Reviews

I thought it was great!

As a former Cav Scout, I found a lot of references that I could relate to. Great fictional action. I am looking forward to the next installment. Hooah!As a side note, I read the book only after the author signed it at a dinner meeting. He's the real deal. Scouts Out!!

Cavalry Scout

As an Ex Cavalry Scout who served during the Persian Gulf war,I am blown away by this book.Though it is fiction in a war written in the future,Its details of life as an Armored Reconaissance Specialist are so vivid and detailed.The daily life in a Scout Platoon, the operations during movement,all the complexities that involve a Scouts world are contained within its pages.If you want to enter the honor and the horror that is a Scouts world in combat-Read this book!

Must Read

As a Staff Sergeant, and a Cavalry Scout serving in the US Army, I can personally say this book is the closest thing there is to being there. The story itself is well written and many of the thoughts the characters have , I have had, many times myself. This book was written by someone who, has the title of "Cavalry Scout". So if you want to see the inner workings of a Cavalry Platoon and personnel, then this is a must read book.
