Title: Four hardcore heros strait out of a comic book.
Review: I gave this book a 4, when compared to other books of gratuitous violence written by people who have probably never been in harms way.The idea of this story is that Four highly trained and experienced soldiers, one from each of the 4 branches of the military, are assigned to protect the president and transport him to safety in the event of a nuclear exchange. They are, or course, equipped with a wide array of really cool guns and gadjets. They also have an arsenal of one liners and dry comments to spout when faced with combat.This book, and the others in this series, read like an ill conceived Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. If you like a good laugh, pick one up. The funniest thing about this series is that the author tries to remain techincal and serious, but just succeeds in sounding pretty silly.Richard Austin, by the way, is actually a guy named Victor Milian. Looks like even the author was embarrassed to be associated with these books.
Is the review positive or negative?
