Shadow Squadron: Elite Infantry by Carl Bowen

tcbueti's review

4.0

MUCH better than I expected: well-written description of special forces squadron's missions (a collection of the first 4 books in this series). You get some background on how it was formed (6 men from various forces--Navy Seals, Green Beret, etc.) there's some power struggle going on between Ryan Cross and his second, Alonso Walker; but otherwise just elite soldiers doing their thing, flawlessly, so kinda thrilling. Reminded me a bit of James Bond: e.g. Somali pirates hiding their ship in a wave-level cave in an uncharted island.

Includes, maps, some history/geography/ and full page comic book and video game style illustrations. For kids who love all things war, a great thing. I'll be buying more.
