"One of L. Ron's earliest and most straight-forward novels of war. The Lieutenant is a remarkably written character that resonates beyond the fairly brief length of the book. A great piece of alternate military history written while WWII was still being fought."
— Brian (4 out of 5 stars)

" One of the best book I've read. "

— Callie, 1/12/2013 -
" Surprisingly, this isn't about Scientology or heavy drinking. "
— Patrick, 12/22/2012 -

— Bill, 12/17/2012 -
" Interesting, from a SF-historical point of view. "
— Lynette, 11/13/2012 -
" Interesting book considering it was written before Pearl Harbor, Anti-War, Anti-Government, written by a winning soldier. Wondering if Castro read this book before taking over Cuba? "
