Red Sands Paperback – November 10, 2021

A real page turner. Could not wait to get back to it anytime I had to put it down. A great example t all of what a true leader goes through in desperate situation and the things that must go through their minds. A really admiral edition to the series.

An army major is given the task of liberating 3 nuclear weapons from Iran, then he goes to Afghanistan to get them back. All the while he is fighting Iranians, afghanis, and even Chinese soldiers.

I could nit pick some of this book but I really don't want to because it was A lot of fun to read and that's the important thing. It's way out there on the scale of plausibility and believability but the author got it right and made it fun enough to read that it really didn't matter.This is a crazy story of a mashup of allied troops that go into Iran to try and capture some nuclear weapons the Iranians have made, which are stolen by some bandits, which are then stolen by an Afghani warlord, they go to Afghanistan to steal them back on the way there they encounter Russians Iranians Afghanis bandits just about anything you could imagine and manage to kill them all with of course huge casualties.As unlikely and implausible as the story is it just kept coming and it was hard for me not to enjoy it, despite the many lapses in research. Personally I find it annoying that nomenclature is not used properly, and sometimes facts are stated that just aren't true. Personally I'd rather see some kind of magic gun appear out of nowhere rather than to have an existing weapon system mischaracterized. But these kinds of things are relatively minor in this particular book so I'm given him a pass on it because I really like the book. It just doesn't stop long enough for me to worry all that much about those kinds of errors.If you like this kind of story, this is pretty much a standalone book in the series because none of the other books have the same characters in them. So if you decided to read this one first it really wouldn't matter much.The whole series is available in Kindle unlimited which is how I got it so I didn't have to pay anything extra for it, and that was a major plus. I I think if I had to pay for The books I probably would not have gotten this far in the series because the other books are okay and they're fun to read but they're just not as good as this one. So I probably would never have gotten this far.

Good for passing the time cuz I finished it in 3 sittings. As good as any of this author's books.

Good explanation of plans and strategies. Not just bang and boom. Everything is possible over there in the middle east.

What war is like 90% boredom and 10% terror. This book has it all. Easy to read. You need to read it.

Combined forces recover 3 nuclear bombs in Afghanistan and fight all the to the sea where they are exfil and get back to America.

Well written with well developed characters on both sides of the conflict. Hope to hear more from Finn in future books!

Another fantastic book by this author. And the sixth book in a row by him I have read within a month. From a usual person who has only read a hand full of books in his life!!Totally recommend this author. Thank you

Every book in this saga has captivated me from the first to the last page. I cannot fault anything in the tale so far and I am looking forward to reading the next book.

Poor crap American bull . Who wrote this rubbish . A10 warthogs shooting down modern fighters really ,APCs getting hit by tank cannons and all the crew getting out dream on

This either cannot get any better in my opinion he is up there with tom Clancy etc keep it up

Too many errors. Poor editing. First Sergeant Dyson got off two different Strykers. Poor editing Good story as are the others by Dietz. Just put to print too quickly
