Body Count: A Special Forces thriller set in the Vietnam War (The Scorpion Squad Military Thrillers Book 1)

I thoroughly enjoyed this Vietnam saga. I have pre-ordered the next in the series. Very well written! The battle scenes are vivid and intense. Highly recommend.

Straight forward author who can spin interest in everything he writes. He's A good author and I recommend all that he produces. He's one of my top ten authors I routinely pick out of the over 300 Kindle that I have read.

Read slot of Mr. Helm s books and this one does not disappoint you with the amount of action and research put into his books. Great book for anyone who likes military works.

This is a great combat story about the Green Berets in Vietnam. Action from the first to the last page.

It’s a quick read with interesting characters. Reminds me a “little” bit of the 2 years I spent in and around Vietnam. Beautiful country and people destroyed by a conflict that shouldn’t have happened.

How do we cling to successfulArmies and steal their thunderBy sending them out to failReally great taleButFoughtForNothkng

Too slow for my taste

Lots of action. Well told. Probably pretty ac curate. Account of the brass and the politics that caused us to lose the war

THIS book is a very great read....ERIC HELM, has been one of my fav. authors for war in Vietnam...U HAVE TO READ THESE>....U WILL NOT BE SORRY

I have read several of Eric Helms novels and they put the reader right there: hiding in a drainage ditch being shot at, orOut in the open with mortar rounds exploding all around you. When crawling to safety one needs to look out for hidden mines or cleverly disguised booby traps. This is all so very real and must have instilled terror into the young American combatants. On the other hand these young Americans enjoyed overwhelming technical superiority and sheer firepower, being let down by meddling politicians and inept leadership. This really is a “must read” book giving a brief snapshot of the Vietnam war.

As a military man of that time and place I can empathize with the soldiers in field versus the REMF general staff. Thankfully, they were not all bad but enough were to deny support to the grunts. The real villains were the politicians who got the US into an unwinnable conflict. Gritty and bloody. The author tells it like it really was.

Should have enough action to please war fans

A good fast flowing read.
