Kept me up until 3:00am on a worknight
14 Jun 1998
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I'm an active duty military officer and I haven't found anyone as technically on the mark as Herman. He sets the standard. He develops great characters with human frailties--but don't get too attached to any of them. A master story teller! This book is best if you read Warbirds and Force of Eagles (in that order) first.

The best aviation fiction book I have ever read
24 Oct 1997
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I came to like technothrillers after reading Tom Clancy's early novels, and for years I tried to find an aviation equivalent of what Tom Clancy had done with submarine warfare.I came across Firebreak by chance, bought it because I liked the cover of the British edition, and after starting it I really felt like I was discovering a new kind of novel, a feeling I had only had before with Tom Clancy's early works. The first part of Firebreak is a spying story not unlike that of a ( good ) James Bond novel, and the second part is political and military fiction at its best, with the description of an all-out war in the Middle East that is chilling in its accuracy. Suspense is skilfully created and maintained and some real facts are cleverly used ( e.g. the F15 Eagle still flying with most of one wing torn off, a fact that really happened to an Israeli aircraft, although McDonnellDouglas engineers would not believe it when they first heard of it). I only regret that Levi's luck did not last until the end, but I presume the author wanted to respect the laws of tragedy. It is rare to see an author with both the military background and the imagination of a born novelist.
