Patriotism is alive and well

A friend gave me this book about a year ago but I never got around to reading it because it looked like one of those old-fashioned stories about good versus evil with good triumphant, etc etc etc. I picked up the book after Christmas and read it, and it offered comfort and hope during a dark winter. Evil came our way on September 11th and no one seemed to know what to do about it except help each other survive and overcome those who hate us with such irrational fury. Mr. Rustad's novel is about overcoming evil, and I'd give it ten stars if I could.

Ex-ccccellent !

The Triumph & Glory grabbed me from the first page and kept me hooked, it is terrific! why isn't the next one out yet ? ? ?I'm waiting . . . .

I thought it was great

This novel has a finish that will really make you think about what is important in life. I loved the people in the story, especially Wilson, the hero pilot who just did his job and didn't expect to live through the war but knew the world wasn't going to stop turning just because he died. All he cared about was not letting down his friends and doing what was right. It cost him dearly, but respect isn't something you get just for showing up, you have to earn it, and Wilson certainly did.

A book for troubled times

Courage. That's what this novel is about. From the first page, when an arrogant Adolf Hitler mocked Americans as foolish cowboys who knew nothing of real war, to the end at Arlington, it reminded me of more recent idiots who have found out what it means to ridicule America. INSPIRING. That's what this novel is, I loved it!

PERFECT FOR SLOW READERS

When I stick my neck out and try to read a whole book, it better have lots of action to keep me awake and not all those big words that they always put in "literature". This book has lots of hot scenes (if you know what I mean) and keeps jumping to different countries so you don't get bored. Plus it's really easy to remember who's who since each character basically just acts one way for the whole book.
