Fallen Angel by Major Jeff Struecker and Alton Gansky



Angel 12 is an American satellite that has been knocked out of space by the Chinese to gain the information that it carries. To their dismay the Americans were able to prevent the satellite from landing on Chinese soil. They were only able to divert it though to crash in Siberia.

The American's have already sent in a Special Ops team to destroy the satellite but they are feared captured or dead. Sgt. Major Eric Moyer is the head of a Special Ops team that is sent to not only destroy the satellite, but to also rescue the other soldiers that are hopefully still alive. His leadership is tested when he is told that his daughter has been kidnapped and the demands are that the Special Ops team pull out of Siberia and abandon their mission.

With 3 countries racing to reach the downed satellite will Moyer be able to lead his team with clear determination or is the mission already compromised with the crippling news of his daughters kidnapping?

I have to be honest I really didn't look forward to reading this book! I thought for sure it was going to be some hokey "guy" book. Which it truly is a "guy" book, and I can't wait to pass it on to my husband to read, but I enjoyed it very much! It was fast-paced yet detailed, there was humor and heart-break. I was actually biting my nails during the final pages! A great military read!

  1. Sometimes its fun to break completely out of our preferred genre and read something totally different.

    Even though I have a ton of reviews to do, I'm itching to read something different.

  2. Thanks to B&H Publishers I have been reading all kinds of things outside of my favorite genre. Some I like, some I don't like. This one was filled with action that just happened to strike a "like" button with me. Now I'm ready for some "fluff" ha!
