GREAT ACTIONS BUT NOT HERMAN'S BEST.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The actions and combat scenes are great, but the story is not as smooth as Iron Gate. Too many sub-plots hurt the flow of the story. However, Richard Herman fans and readers who love action-packed military stories will enjoy the read. It also gives the readers who intend to read Iron Gate more back ground info about the main characters.

Dark Wing is the second book by Richard Herman that I have read, and I can say that it is fantastic! He gives the A-10 the needed publicity it deserves as a kick ass warplane. The plot is interesting and has lots of twists and turns. His technical descriptions are great, not over-explaining things and not under-explaining them. This book drops from a 10 to a 9 because of all the Chinese names, internal Chinese politics, and Chinese spirituality. Other than that, a great read.
Fast moving book about a very slow plane.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I like reading books about planes. My favorite are about F-15 Eagles. I,ve read all Richard Herman jr.'s books and they are all very good. I didn't think he could take a plane like the A-10 and turn it into a fast moving book, but he did. Even though it has very slow airspeed it is very agile and maneuverable. It is a very well written book and I recomend it highly.
