He's not there for glory but to make up for his cowardice and solve a mystery. But can a fifteen year old boy survive without any military training? Can he find the answers he seeks? Or will someone see that he's shut down permanently?"
I was hooked when I read the description of this book, and I wasn't at all disappointed! The main character was realistic and absolutely believable as a fish out of water over in Vietnam. The horrors of the war were on display in the book, and this fact alone kept the suspense ratcheted up. The book started out slowly, giving you the chance to get to know the Peterson family, before the action really started. The pacing was well done, the secondary characters were well developed, and the setting was well written - so 3 for 3 there! The conclusion was satisfying, as well. This was a quick read for me for all of these reasons.
In summary, I enjoyed this book very much and give it my highest recommendation.
5 out of 5 stars.
