"You have done it. The Thirteenth Mission has had my cmplete attention since it arrived. You have surprised any thing I have previously read about the war in that end of the world,especially as it touched our lives. It's quite obvious that you researched thorougly, but better than that you know what you are writing about. You have the ability to put it on paper in an understandable fashion. I think its just great. "
"Your account of the ditching really hit home."
