Product Description
Product Description
As a soldier in Vietnam, John Fortunato fought in the crushing darkness of the tunnels of Cu Chi, from which the Vietcong launched their deadliest operations. Back home in Elk River, Illinois, he secretly re-created those deadly tunnels. Partly a memorial, partly a kind of exorcism, they now lie hidden beneath the town's peaceful streets.
But that peace shatters when Fortunato witnesses the brutal sidewalk shooting of an innocent victim. The vicious crime is only the first assault by a man who will wage a full-scale battle to control Elk River. And on the front line is John Fortunato, whose secret tunnels will provide the battleground for his own war. As his enemy is about to learn, when this veteran warrior goes down, he's just beginning to fight.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Fast paced adventure novel. Has the same type of feeling as Die Hard, but the villian isn't as good as Hans. Great fun to read.

I am normally a "skip-reader". I could not do so with this book. I learned a tremendous amount about the concept of the Vietnam war that was so much a part of my life. I want to know more. Is there another book by this author?
Format:Mass Market Paperback
As we traipse from plot convenience to plot convenience, we learn about the lives of the one-dimensional residents of Elk River. The author has literally created a world of his own, where no outside influence may intrude. In his world, murder upon murder happen in a vacuum and nobody outside of this town notices? Yeah, right. A total ignorance of the legal process also serves as the means by which his evil character Tony Hunt gets everything done.
Let's not forget the stereotypical policemen and union members in this town of 20,000 and one church.
The plot was unique and had great potential. I actually enjoyed the first 1/4 of the book. It was about that time that I realized a Steven King book was more plausible. This should have been a comic book.

Very satisfied but could even better
I just love this most talented writer and would like to read more of his works. The coolest part of this book is that of its short but just fine and appropriate chapters. Read more

Non-stop literary fun
Flynns' biting humor and edgy action, make Digger a read to lose sleep over. Although a bit far-fetched, I was only disappointed that it ended. A refreshingly fresh style.....

improbable plot, shallow, ill drawn characters.
The plot offers some promise, but is so improbable as to suggest the book be classified as a fantasy. Read more
