Wow.I've read this book three times and cannot believe how engaging it is, and on so many levels! The ghost team is real - smart, determined, skilled, and well equipped - but also vulnerable and human. I felt I was a part of the team, a part of the decision making, a part of the planning, a part of the action, and ultimately deserving of sharing in their ultimate victory.The bad guys were true to life, the political and geographic intrigue was completely plausible in these days of geopolitical funding of destabilization by wealthy criminals.And the technology was breathtaking. Perhaps nothing really strokes my imagination by reading about short-term future tech. We live in a world where technology is advancing at such a staggering pace that today's inconceivably complex technologies will be obsolete in only a few years, and everything in the book seems to so achievable that one cannot help but wonder if it's already out there, available today to the select few.But it was the character development that really frosted my cake. These characters were so driven, so tough, so smart, and yet so compassionate and committed to their team. It's as though I was actually experiencing the book through their eyes, and at one point I actually was so immersed that I became part of the team. Any author that can bring a book to life in such vivid, Technicolor detail that it becomes real - even if only for a few chapters - is a real badass!My hat is off to you, Peter Telep. I cannot wait to read your next work!
