Review:
Praise for the Green Beret series:
WEB Griffin: "Exciting and authentic. Author Mayer, a Green Beret himself, gave me a vivid look at the world of the Army's Special Forces as they battle America's most deadly enemy. His portrayal of Green Beret operations and techniques takes you deep into the covert world of Special Operations as a you follow an A-Team into combat. Don't miss this one.
Stephen Coonts: "A scorcher of a novel. Mayer had me hooked from the very first page."
Macon News-Record: Incredibly believable and absolutely riveting. Quite possibly the best book every written about the Green Berets. Bob Mayer tells Green Beret stories like Joseph Wambaugh tells cop stories!
Library Journal: "A masterpiece of technology and suspense. A thriller that delivers in all areas--plot, suspense, authenticity and pace. Not to be missed by fans of the genre."
Kirkus Reviews: "Fascinating, imaginative and nerve-wracking. Mayer's tough, businesslike soldiers again include a tough, businesslike female."
Publisher's Weekly: "A pulsing technothriller. A nail-biter in the best tradition of adventure fiction."
Journal of US Special Operations: "This is one book you can trust."
Kirkus Reviews: "Action packed entertainment. An atavistic milieu plausibly conjured up by Mayer."
Publishers Weekly: "Mayer keeps story and characters firmly under control. The venal motives of the scientists and military bureaucracy are tellingly contrasted with the idealism of the soldiers--a treat for military fiction readers."
Library Journal: "This book will appeal to a variety of horror and military fiction readers. Recommended!"
Assembly Magazine (Association of Graduates, West Point): "Bob Mayer has stretched the limits of the military action novel as this is also a gripping detective story and an intriguing science fiction thriller. Mayer brings an accurate depiction of military life to this book which greatly enhances its credibility."
Kirkus Reviews: "Sinewy writing enhances this already potent action fix. An adrenaline cocktail from start to finish."
Southern Book Trade: "Clancy, Coonts and Brown might have the market cornered when it comes to hardware, but Mayer knows what all Infantry types will tell you: it's the soldier who makes all the difference. Fans of military action will eat this one up. Bob Mayer just keeps getting better and better."
Kansas City Journal Enquirer: "What a delicious adventure-thriller. Its clever, plausible plot gives birth to lots of action and suspense."
San Francisco Examiner: "A fast-paced thriller with compelling main characters and incredibly determined foes."
Midwest Book Review: "Unlike most military stories this will appeal to general audiences as a fine thriller. Highly recommended, indeed."
Bookpage: "Take an original look at a simmering world hot spot, and generates a lot of suspense along the way. A winner on all points."
Library Journal: "A heart-pounding thriller about the emergence of a deadly ebola-like virus. Inventive, entertaining, and realistic adventure. Highly recommended."
Kirkus: "A ripping good biotech/military thriller that plausibly depicts the high costs of combating unseen enemies. An absorbing and well-written series."
