Sorry I didn't get to read it before the time ran out. I didnt know you couldnt renew once archived. I was looking forward to reading it aswell
Well researched and well written historical fiction based on chopper pilots in the Vietnam war.
This book grabbed my attention and held it all the way through, the action scenes were intense but not overpowering and the detail involved could almost trick you into believing your reading a non fiction account of the brave men who piloted the helicopters in Vietnam.
Written in such a way that you could be forgiven for thinking this is non-fiction, the book handles the context of a terrible war with respect and also in a way which does not sugar coat the realities of a conflict situation. I enjoyed the writing style and really felt like I was there with the characters.
I have read "Chariots in the Sky" by Larry A. Freeland. This is a great novel about chopper pilots in the end of the Vietnam war. I have read many books about this conflict both fiction and nonfiction and this one read almost like nonfiction. The statistics about chopper pilots is amazing, almost half the choppers where lost during the war. In this book although fiction you get a feel for most crazy thing that can occur in a war zone and how it is to live with it. I must thank @publishauthority @netgalley for giving me this advance copy and the author @larryfreeland_author for writing a great book.
A gripping novel of helicopter action in Vietnam. The characters were well developed and the plot was great. The action scenes were interesting and suspenseful. I really enjoyed this book and will look for more from this author. A must read.
Thank you to #NetGalleyfor the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
