The Raid

Super Vietnam Ground Zero Thrillers, Book 1

By: Eric Helm

Narrated by: Michael Butler Murray

A powerful true-to-life novel set in the jungle hell of Vietnam! Perfect for fans of Andrew Watts, L. T. Ryan, Don Keith, and George Wallace.

Captain Gerber's team take on the Soviet Spetsnaz in North Vietnam . . .

Vietnam, 1968—United States Air Force reconnaissance photos appear to show a newly built POW camp close to the Demilitarized Zone.

US Army Special Forces Captain Mack Gerber and Master Sergeant Anthony B. Fetterman are sent into the steaming jungles of North Vietnam to take a closer look.

Instead of a POW compound, they discover a Soviet-run training camp for the NVA.

American military officials believe a Russian presence could severely undermine the US war effort in Vietnam. The only option is to launch a raid into North Vietnam.

Gerber's men now have a new mission: go in with guns blazing . . . and get out alive.

OK

Well, as a armchair historian of the Vietnam war for close to 40 years, i've seen the good the bad and the ugly. This book doesn't quite fit any of these. There was so little action. The characters had no real depth.What keeps me coming back for more of an author is not the explosions but the characters. The actual skill set of the soldiers woven into the story. only the last sixth of the book was about confronting the spetznaz. It is quite literally ludicrous plot for the Russians to have a base so close to the DMZ to begin with. It wasn't bad. Will I buy more, or the SEAL series- No.
