Dragon SIM-13 was to be a combat simulation involving a Special Forces strategic strike into China--an elaborate exercise to test operational readiness. But when thousands of students are massacred in Tiananmen Square during democracy protests, the rules change. With the push of a button, Meng--the computer genius behind the SIM program--turns the simulation into reality, and the Dragon mission is launched.
I really enjoy Mr. Mayer's stories. His characters kind of seem real and their sense of humor in the face of danger makes for fun reading. I can lose myself in his books and just enjoy the story. I really do enjoy this character and storyline.
A fast paced special ops adventure tale

The second book in the Dave Riley series about Special Forces operations around the world. A really enjoyable read, plenty of suspense, good character developement, a lot of inside info on Green Beret team spirit and their mission planning and fighting ability. A great plot and the fast pace keep the reader guessing until the end. A special ops into China that suddenly goes awry with some cost to the team involved. I sure hope HBO grabs the Riley series and works on them, a sure fire hit for the action fans. Also highly recommended by Mr Mayer (writing as Bob McGuire) are The Line and The Gate. Terrific books. Keep 'em coming, Bob. In fact, I will be loaning the books I have read to a couple of buddies.
One of the best special ops books I've ever read.

Rates right up there with the Five Fingers, Never So Few, Bravo Two Six. This is excellent military fiction that is very realistic.
