"Exciting and authentic Author Mayer, a Green Beret himself, gave me a vivid look at the world of the Army's Special Forces. His portrayal of Green Beret operations and techniques takes you deep into... This description may be from another edition of this product.
look like a comic book. Of course Clear and Present Danger was longer, and Clancy yacked about how powerful a rifle is, and how big a ship is, Eyes Of The Hammer ignores ALL OF THAT, and gives us the full action. Eyes Of The Hammer is about Special Forces that sneak into Columbia and to destroy the drug labs. Bob Mayer of course was a former Special Forces soldier, and the action felt real, and was quite exciting. The plans and the tactics felt real and how the soldiers fought very realistic. Eyes Of The Hammer ignores all of the CIA business, and it just deals with the military operations. The thing I had a problem is that some of the writing was kind of poor, but still I felt this was a strong book. Worth reading.
An exciting Special Forces adventure.

This is a very interesting Special Forces adventure effort written by one who knows. It includes DEA, CIA, Military, covert operations, politics, and drug trafficing. It is all wrapped around interesting and believable characters. A good military adventure story.
Outstanding special ops adventure

Bob Mayer has created a unique series featuring a very real hero in Mr. Dave Riley. The story is well written, with tight descriptions and an active plot, plenty of nefarious villians, twists and turns and enough shoot-'em up action, crips dialog and a lot of heroics. Find this book as well as the rest of the series, they are worth reading. Great treat on a rainy afternoon. I hope HBO picks up the series and does something good with them.
