Book Overview

The fourth book in the Detachment Delta series. When American missionaries are taken hostage by Algerian rebels, the call for a rescue comes to the most elite of military units--the Delta Force. With a presidential election approaching, Americans are living in fear of a terrorist attack, aimed at taking lives, influencing politics, disrupting the democratic process. General Darren Kragle, a legendary soldier, is at the heart of the effort to keep the election running smoothly. On the other side of the world, in tumultuous Algeria, Kragle's son Cameron, a former special forces soldier, has agreed to accompany a group of missionaries as added protection, but finds himself no match for a ruthless band of rebel kidnappers. But Cameron is just one son in the legendary family, and soon two of General Kragle's other military sons, Delta Force commandoes, are sent to Algeria--one to rescue Cameron and the other hostages, and the other to rescue a kidnapped American ally. A troubled nation's hopes for peace hang in the balance. The Kragles have given more than their fair share to the War on Terror and the fight for American freedom--having paid in blood, sweat and the lost lives of loved ones. And as General Kragle tries to prevent a catastrophic nuclear attack on American soil, an attack that has targeted the president himself, his courageous sons won't give up their battle until they are all three safe on friendly soil.

An Entertaining Read

Charles W. Sasser is a prolific writer of biography and fiction based upon actually happenings. If you are the type that blames the USA for all the world's problems, you will probably hate his books. If most of his characters seem larger than life to you, unfortunately you have never known people that have demonstrated this kind of courage and dedication. If you have served in combat areas and/or volunteered to be subjected to the threat of deadly force, you will probably enjoy all the books in the Detachment Delta series. If you really want to know what real fighting men endured during the Vietnam War and other conflicts, read the biographical books. He is unapologeticaly pro common sense American and his writing style evidences disdain for politically correct nonsense. I have read a dozen of his works and enjoyed every one even though I could nit pick a few technical errors if I wished to let them distract me from the story line.

Some kinks worked out, others arise

I have always found Charles Sasser's "Detachment Delta" series entertaining, if flawed. Common mistakes are confusing one member of the Kragle clan with another, listing a character as having one rank and changing it halfway through, and sometimes some cliche ideas. The action was enough to keep me coming back, and the strong right-wing theme didn't hurt, either. "Operation Aces Wild", the fourth installment in the series, is actually a pretty entertaining read. No annoying side-stories that detract from the plot. No slip-ups with the Kragle clan. There was a rank mix-up, but Mr. Sasser has come a far way from "Punitive Strike". The action was crisp, as always, and there was even a stronger political element to it. Very entertaining. The only major problem I had with it was that the Brandon Kragle storyline was a bit mundane. He didn't express much emotion the entire time, except near the end of his storyline. However, the action was still entertaining enough to keep the book to be a decent rating. I would have to say this is tied for best book in the Detachment Delta series, holding the spot with the second installment, "Operation Iron Weed". If you're a military enthusiast and want to read something entertaining, pick up "Operation Aces Wild".
