I was a bit skeptical when I bought this book as it is a book about the Ghost Recon franchise by Ubisoft/Tom Clancy. Why? The Ghosts are the best of the best of the American Special Forces. They use the most advanced, not to mention expensive, equipment in the world, and they use it with great efficiency and lethality.
The trouble, I thought, would be in describing all this near-future equipment and technology to people who had never played the games before. I am big fan of the Ghost Recon series, and I found that this book did the Ghosts justice. (I still wish they would drop the MR-C, as it's a totally unrealistic weapon. For those that don't know, the MR-C or Military Rifle - Caseless is a weapon design by Crye Associates. It is, however, just a design. There is no plan to ever produce this rifle as no one has any idea how it could actually work).
All in all, this book is a great read. I would have preferred a little more depth to it, but for what it was, I liked it. It is an adrenaline fueled thrill ride into the near-future, and CPT Scott Mitchell is your guide. I recommend this book to any fan of the Tom Clancy series of Jack Ryan books and to really any fan of action packed stories. This is definitely a good one!

If a novel is a contract between two imaginations author David Michaels gives us more than enough ammo to fight alongside Captain Scott Mitchell and his Ghost Team.
From the Southern Philippines, Northwest Waziristan, and Xiamen, China, Mitchell and his Ghosts carry out the Army's clandestine ops; coping with the impact of unforeseen tragedy, remembering lessons-learned, and treasuring camaraderie.
But during Operation War Wrath in Xiamen, China, a decade-old tragedy resurfaces endangering the mission and the team. Mitchell now must fight his rage, complete the mission, and bring his wounded and battle-weary team out of China --- vanishing like the ghosts they trained to be.
