This book was very interesting and I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook. I have actually given it 3.5star rounded up. I just loved the narrator's voice he was a perfect match for the book. He really kept my interest throughout. Its such a wonderfully wrote recollection of one man's military career. There was plenty of emotion that came out throughout this story. It was so wonderful to hear how amazing his life and career was he really did the nation proud. It was really thrilling to read. This would be a perfect book for all those who love reading about military history and those who just love learning about modern warfare. Also those like me who just love reading anything air force or navy. 

So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for bringing to light this amazing and emotion account. It really was a pleasure to hear this wonderful book.

When you pick up a book like Five Nickels you are setting yourself up to experience an amount of pride for your country and for the soldiers that are prepared to make sacrifices at any given moment for the safety of others. Jim "Boots" Demarest did a great job writing and giving us the life of Captain Steve Phillis. A son, partner, friend, a soldier who deserves all the accolades possible for not only his determination in his military career but in the sacrifice he made. I was left crying because Captain Steve Phillis had so much love to give and impacted so many lives that you cannot help but also be touched and impacted by his life, but also how beautifully it was written by Jim "Boots" Demarest.
