This is a warrior's odyssey!!

Snake, Rolling in Hot by Bud Jones is a warrior's odyssey, a Marines book. It qualifies in the league of my favorite military author, W.E.B. Griffin whose series I have read and re-read, especially the series on the Marine Corps. Damn few authors can be as talanted as W.E.B. yet the Marine Corps has done it again. Bud Jones is close. Yes, Snake Rolling in Hot is THAT good for holding your undivided attention. You will snarl at any interruption when yo begin reading this action packed historical novel. Snake Rolling in Hot has vivid combat, extremely well portrayed. Here is an author who obviously been there when the shells start flying. No Ted Koppell or George Will sheltered dissertations. If you have been a real front warrior than threat yourself to a memorable past. You will receive a wealth of memories as to how we got to those front lines and more. Snake Rolling in Hot carries us back into our Marine Corps pasts where we all started from, for officers, in OCS, then The Basic School and for some, flight school in Pensacola. I was an enlised Marine in Korea and then was commissioned and flew F4Bs in Vietnam. I know this book to be true. As a well rounded Marine, I sincerely recommend that you read Snake Rolling in Hot...one hellova book. I never put it down until thoroughly devoring it, cover to cover, then I had to read it again. I am Ed McGaa. I was born on a Sioux reservation in South Dakota and I am a registered tribal member. I served in Korea and earning an undergraduate degree and rejoined the Marine Corps to fly fighter jets in Vietnam. After leaving the Corps I earned a law degee from the University of South Dakota and have written and published five books on Native American culture.

Most exciting book on Vietnam flight ops ever written

It is clear after reading this exciting novel that the author has been there and done that!! If you've ever wondered what it's really like to fly helicopters in combat, read this and wonder no more. The action puts you right in the cockpit with Marine pilots as they fly and fight for their lives in Vietnam. There are also excellent stories about how pilots sow their wild oats in Bangkock, Hong Kong, the Phillippines and other hot R & R spots in Southeast Asia. There are also a number of wonderful females characters that makes this book great reading of men and women. If a frank description of war and sex with tough language bothers you, take a pass on this hot book. Once I started to read it, I couldn't put it down. It is, without a doubt, the most exciting book on military flying I ever read.K.R.McCoy, USMC (ret) (A retired combat USMC naval aviator, September, 26, 2001.
