Part of the Book that Caught My Attention: Title
View on the Cover: It doesn't particularly interest me. It's probably something that involves war.
View on Title: It reminds me of how kids create silly names for their little missions when they play, but it's probably not involving any kids of any sort.

Pros:
- Hail's character is one where you can really sympathize with. He lost his family and all he has left is his wealth. He's smart and knows a lot of military strategy. He can easily enjoy his wealth and retire, but he decides to go on missions with his private team to help the United States. In reality, it just to fill the void for his pain.
Cons:
- For me, I like to structure how much I read a novel so it was very hard to gauge how many pages to read because this was given to me through an e-book. There are no chapters to this book, which made even harder.
- This book is definitely not for everyone. It's meant for people who like military fiction, but I have never been am a fan of military fiction. When I was emailed to read this book I was told it was horror similar to Stephen King's work.
- There is very little characterization and it doesn't seem like the characters grow very much, which made it even harder to read this.
