MWSA Review
Galen Peterson’s third Global Response Force book, Task Force Thunderbolt, picks up where Lighting Six left off, with the same likeable heroes and gritty combat that made that book so enjoyable.
Six months after Lightning Six, NATO is preparing its counterattack. Captain Trondfjell had led Lightning Troop through hell and now has them replenished and ready to do their part. However, on the eve before the battle, he is pulled up to staff and has to say goodbye to his comrades. Little does he know that fate and the enemy will come calling and have him back in combat sooner than expected. But this time, it’s more than just Lightning’s lives on the line. Will he come through yet again?
This book is written in the same style as the previous installment, is technically accurate, and does a decent job of capturing the camaraderie developed in combat. Fans of Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, or Harold Coyle will find much to enjoy here.
