Synopsis

Welcome to the Philippines outback. It’s a true garden spot, if you happen to like drug running, bush-bound
revolutionary movements, Balkanized tribal warfare, illegal weapons trading, and kidnapping for fun and profit. It’s
hostage rescue time once again for Terry Welch’s special operations company. But this is turning out to be one of those
missions. Starting with no clue as to the hostage’s whereabouts topped off by Welch and his crew having to endure a
rifle company of hated competitors supposedly sent along for reinforcement.

Part of the territory for Welch. But then an attack on both companies’ home bases leaves families and friends under
threat of death and any available support scurrying to defend. Worse, advance team members sent to reconnoiter have
been taken hostage as well. No help, no backup, team members in the soup.

Welch knows there’s only one solution: do whatever it takes. This is H Hour. And the fight is on

Goodreads review by Anthony

So far its interesting even if its a little bit on the crude side when it comes to getting started. But there again we all want our action books to have a little bit of that hard boiled style when it comes to story telling. Kratman does himself and the other authors of Baen proud, not only does he p......more
