Customer Reviews

Definitely an 80s action movie!

I read somewhere that this book was originally written as a screen play for a movie that was never made. If this is true, I believe it, because it reads a little “different” than other books. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fine to read, but something about it felt drug out. The book has a great story. You get really caught up not only in our hero’s story, but I found myself really interested in our villains back story as well. The final scene is where the book just goes all out. You will be flipping pages like crazy when Youngblood starts going to “war.” It’s almost impossible not to picture rambo or Stallone when reading about Kyle Youngblood. I ranked it a 4 and not a 5 because some parts I somewhat was wanting more action, but it’s still a great fun read. I have the next three in the series and excited to see where the story line goes and if the book is written differently since it wasn’t drafted a last a screen play.

This book should be a movie!

Herb Fisher writes like a toronato. Non-stop action. "Kyle Youngblood" sould be the next great american hero. Maybe Bruce or Kurt could play the part if they are man enough. Let me know.
