“Great book! Working the Kill Zone is a vivid account of life on the cutting edge during the early days of the war in Iraq. The story is skillfully written, captivating, and the ending is unexpected and excellent. How much of the story is real? That’s hard to tell. If you’ve been there, you will recognize that these events happen. If you’ve never been there, you will feel like you are right there in the middle of all the insanity.”

"Thrilling book, difficult to put down.  Written by one who obviously experienced many of the situations encountered by Alex, the main character in the book.  The author has been there, done that."

"An excellent combination of suspense, romance, and military action. A rare view into the role of contractors in the middle east and their contribution. Also offers a better understanding of the radical Muslim beliefs. A really good read."

“A fantastic collection of vignettes depicting the range of combat operations in Iraq. The tone is as real as it can get on the bonds of brotherhood challenged by fog of war, the dynamic tension between organizations, and the enemy always has a vote.”
