From Library Journal
When a planeload of American servicemen and dependents is taken hostage and held in Libya, Navy SEALs devise a waterborne rescuebut not before the terrorists begin to execute the hostages. Meanwhile, the resident Russian "advisers" at the airbase stage countermoves that could inflame the incident to the point of World War III. In this complex tale of conventional warfare in our nuclear age, Leib pours on the heavy artillery of precise technical description; the acronyms and military lingo are dense enough to entertain the most ardent fans of military realism. But Leib also demonstrates a light touch, bringing out the human relationships that motivate fear, love, and sizzling lust in his characters. Fans of techno-terror will want to read more from this newcomer to the genre. BOMC featured selection. Barbara Conaty, Library of Congress

From School Library Journal
YA A timely novel of terrorist action that proceeds toward the hoped-for conclusion with many diversions. The political ins and outs of dealing with terrorists complicates the theme. Relationships between nations, heads of state, commanders, and non-coms are explored in a realistic manner that adds excitement and suspense. Individual characterizations provide insight into each of the characters' natures and societal relationships. Although a long novel, it is never tiresome. Gail Stubblefield, Westbury Christian School, Houston, Tex.
