Cauldron - Larry Bond

Cauldron

By: Larry Bond

From: Headline Feature

The set pieces in this military adventure are first rate and the author neatly captures the feel of battle, the confusion, uncertainties and accidents.

The plot moves along at a cracking pace and apart from a few geographic innacuracies (mostly artistic licence, I assume, to enhance plot lines) seems well constructed. Predictably for a book of this genre there is lots of things being blown up and foolish baddies making one mistake to many that our heroes can exploit... but it wouldn't be a story otherwise.

Without distracting from the fact that this is a cracking good read and the story-line well thought out, there are one huge thing that grates. For a story set in Europe where are all the heroes American and why is this mainly a story about the American military.

Apart from that - a solid reccomendation from me.

Read it!
