River Raid (The Scorpion Squad Military Thrillers Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Eric Helm (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 560 ratings
A red-hot thriller set during the Vietnam War! Perfect for fans of Andrew Watts, L. T. Ryan, Don Keith and George Wallace.

The elite Scorpion Squad faces down the enemy on its own savage battleground…

Republic of Vietnam, November 1964

Deep in the Vietnamese jungle the Viet Cong have constructed a floating artillery base.

Nearby, U.S. Special Forces Camp A-555 is right in the line of fire.

But Captain Mack Gerber and his ‘Scorpion Squad’ A-team are determined to bring the kill zone to the VC before the VC gets to them.

Their aim? To make the death-defying journey along the river into the heart of enemy-occupied territory and save their men from a savage death.

But which side will come out on top in this deadly river raid…?

RIVER RAID is the fourth book in the Scorpion Squad Military Thriller Series: action-packed, authentic historical thrillers following an American battalion as they fight to survive during the brutal Vietnam War.

    I’ve read a bunch of Helm’s books and enjoy them for what they are, action packed war stories. The author spins a good tale about a Special Forces’ A-Team# war in Vietnam and doesn’t delve very much into sad tales of who, what, where, why, and whoa is me.

    Very good book. Was pleased with boat action throughout. Gerber has a lot going on, but still does his job. Schmidt was a weird little sideline and would have liked to find out what issue was, but he always got his job done.

    River Raid by Eric Helm is a fun read if something can be fun about war. It describes some of the beginnings of the brown water navy in Vietnam. I have found this series interesting although improbale sine the same group of people are involved in most types of small group tactics used in this war. But you get a good feel for the different types of terrain the troops where up against.
