An electrifying novel of men at war in Vietnam, by the writer Tom Clancy calls the real thing. Filled with the searing, authentic voices of Vietnam, Eagle Station is a gripping, compelling tale of a race against the clock to save a crucial radar station. Berent's most dramatatic novel yet.
It's been a number of years since I've read Eagle Station, but I've read all of Mr. Berents' books and they were spectacular. The detail with which he describes the characters and scenes made you feel as if you were actually in the field, the enemy attacking you. You could almost hear the gun fire and feel the battle rage. His technique even let you inside the characters minds and understand what they might have gone through. I met Mr. Berents at a book signing at Davis Monthan AB in 1990-91. He autographed Rolling Thunder for me, complete with a Jane Fonda toilet paper book mark! I read Rolling Thunder on the flight to Tuscon from Indianapolis. All Mr. Berent's books are great reads, I wish he would write more!
first rate, written by a true flier that was there

This is number four of a five book series that follows the adventures of several pilots and special forces personnel through the war in Viet Nam. For those of us who were pilots in that war, it is the best and most accurate description of our experiences. Each book of the series seems both historically and otherwise factually accurate. All in all, one of the best "reads" to be had since Tom Clancy started writing
