Ghost Recon

This week I started a new book, titled Ghost Recon, written by David Michaels. This book is one of the best books that I have ever read in many ways. The book is full of action, but at the same is very discrete and secret. There is a group inside the army that are very classified, they are called the Ghosts, and they are used only in the hardest times. The ghosts are the ones who do the hard work, assignations for example, and they have to do it with out being seen, caught, captured, or killed. The main character is named Captain Scott Mitchell and he is a very accomplished soldier who is a captain in the ghost company, and is always the best of the best. The book starts out when Mitchell is just an officer in the army, and he is on a mission. The Taiwanese are also with the Americans working side by side, there comes a time when the Americans are being mowed down and they are desperate for help. Mitchell begs the Taiwanese officer, Fang, o help them but he does not answer. After the battle only three out of twelve of Mitchell’s soldiers made it, and then out of nowhere the Taiwanese army comes up over the hill, not even sweaty. Mitchell asks where they were, Fang said he did not want to risk his soldiers lives for the Americans, Mitchell obviously didn’t like this, and then the two fought. This is just the beginning of a very interesting book and I can’t wait to read the rest.

Sounds like a good book. My book involves alot of assassinations also, like c-4 in the earpiece of a phone. Sounds cool.
