book+summaries

Inside Delta Force by Eric Haney This book is about a military organization that technically doesn't exist. There is even a show based on the book called the unit. It is a great book for people who love action and some boring polotics. I didn't enjoy the polotics but the boring stuff explains what is supposed to happen on the next mission, but as usual, nothing goes the way it was planned, especially in the military. So they were always expecting what the colonel said they weren't going to encounter. This book is filled with action that anybody would love.

Pirate Hunters by Mack Maloney this book is another action filled thriller that never stops the action from coming at you and suprising you. It is a good book that never stops cursing, but thats not the worst thing in the book and i would get in a lot of trouble if i told you. it never lets the action die out except for a few pages of refueling and getting new weapons. they even got a small work copter that they modified to carry a machine gun and two rocket pods. They even got a couple of permanent M4 mounts put on the sides so the men could shoot accurately from the sides and not just from the front. They took out two pirate gangs in a matter of a year.

Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan This book is from the author of the percy jackson series. This one isn't about greek gods but it's about egyptian gods. it is part of the Kane series and the brother and sister are from a long but powerful line of family called the blood of the pharaos and both of his parents are from two different but powerful strands of that family and they have the combined powers of both families.
