Guidelines (Vietnam Ground Zero Military Thrillers Book 8) Kindle Edition

by Eric Helm (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 581 ratings
Adrenaline-pumping action in the Vietnam jungle! Perfect for fans of Andrew Watts, L. T. Ryan, Don Keith and George Wallace.

The Special Forces team make a daring HALO jump into North Vietnam…

Vietnam, 1967

The Americans believe that the North Vietnamese are using a new guidance system that prevents U.S. fighter aircraft from detecting missile launches on their radar equipment.

If this discovery is true, then it could radically tip the balance of the war in the enemy’s favour.

Special Forces Captain Mack Gerber and Master Sergeant Anthony Fetterman are tasked with taking a team into the North to investigate one of the SA-2 Guideline missile sites.

It’s a dangerous mission: a 30,000-foot nighttime parachute jump from a B-52 bomber in subzero temperatures into hostile territory.

But that could be the least of their problems.

Because Gerber knows that even if they survive the dive, death could be just around the corner in the camp of the enemy...

GUIDELINES is the eighth book in the Vietnam: Ground Zero series: action-packed, authentic historical thrillers following an American Special Forces Squad as they fight to survive during the brutal Vietnam War.

    5.0 out of 5 stars GOVERNMENT PAID TRIP TO NORTH VIETNAM
    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    This is number 8 in the VIETNAM: GROUND ZERO series of books by GOLD EAGLE books from October, 1987. The VIETNAM: GROUND ZERO series of books running from 1986 thru the mid 1990's totaled 35 books or so. Written in a series, each can be read independently of the others, but read together they form a mosiac of the entire conflict.

    This particular book focuses on U.S. Air Force planes being shot down over North Vietnam by S2 surface to air missiles fired from a fixed site. But the planes are being hit due to the S2 not showing up on the radar screen. MACV-Saigon feels the Russians are giving the North Vietnamese S2 missles now employing a new technology, the only way to investigate is to insert a small recon force by HALO (high altitude, low opening)to get information about the new S2s. Mack Gerber and a small recon group are chosen to do this sneek and peek operation. What they find is in fact upsetting from a couple of angles, and the surprise reaches all the way back to the highest levels of MACV-Saigon. This is a FUBAR operation from start to finish.

    These VIETNAM: GROUND ZERO books have interesting characters, well defined situations, and are written with a well chosen, flowing style that keep the pages turning. If you have any interest in military things in general or Vietnam in specific, then reading a few of these may just what's ordered.

    Good from start to finish. As James A Cox of The Midwest Review stated by in '87, "Extra special...an unexpected find.".

    Semper Fi.

    (Happy 10th anniversary, Kay!)

    Anyone close to the military knows, for example, the B-52 has 8 not 10 engines and the Guard frequency is 243.0 Otherwise a good read.
