The Chosen One

De: Walt Gragg

Narrado por: Peter Berkrot

A fundamentalist Islamic army is on the march in the Middle East, and the fight to stop the spread of madness will take everything the American military can muster in this novel from the author of The Red Line.

Two months ago, a new leader arose in the Islamic world, the Mahdi - or the Chosen One. He has rallied fundamentalist Muslim forces across the Middle East who have driven deep into Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Standing against them is an allied force made up primarily of the American military.

It's a desperate fight. From armored battles in the desert to American carriers desperately dodging waves of cruise missiles, the Mahdi proves to have many tricks up his sleeve.

Marine Lieutenant Sam Erickson is in the thick of the fighting. He and his company have fought their way from a landing on the Mediterranean shore to the outskirts of Cairo. Now he finds himself at a critical juncture, but can he make the sacrifices necessary for the greater good?

Great story too many big words

Great story but the author went out of his way to show his mastery of big words. No one talks like that and it took away from the storyline and action scenes.

Predictable

A romance novel with guns. I was disappointed by the plot development. It could have been so much better.

Poor or no Research

The author knows little about the Marine Corp`s weapons or tactics. More a comic book than a novel.
