A Mission for Delta ReviewMission for Delta proves that being a career soldier with a career full of good stories to tell doesn't make you a good storyteller.James Jones (From Here to Eternity) wasn't a career soldier but that didn't make his book any less powerful.
Bucky Burruss was a career soldier (lord knows Clark Kent's beat that horse to death) but even that can't make Mission for Delta a book that anybody whose nom de plume ain't in it would stick with long enough to finish.
The writing is stiff and stilted...downright clumsy. Burruss makes a night parachute jump seem boring and that's an achievement.
The characters with the most life to them are women. The characters given the most suck-up time (and sex scenes) are officers. Logical because Burruss was an officer and other officers are the men he wanted most to impress. The characters Burruss develops least and seems to understand least are the operators themselves. Also logical because Burruss was not an operator.
The missions are cold-war stuff. Interesting only to us old guys because of who Burruss was and what he knows. But the book we really wish he would write is about the mission that was beginning as the book ends:
Burruss is one of the few men alive who might know the real story about the ultimately sabotaged Delta mission to rescue the POWs left alive in Vietnam in the late 1980s.A Mission for Delta OverviewAn action packed thriller about nuclear terrorism during the Cold war. Follow Delta Force members Dave Ames, Matt Jensen, and Rebecca Brown as they try to track down a terrorist nuclear device with the potential to change the history of the world. From guerrilla camps in Nicaragua to the halls of Congress, divided Berlin, and Cyprus, these secret warriors risk their lives and love to prevent the ultimate terrorist act. Written with an insider's knowledge by the former Deputy Commander of the Army's elite anti-terrorist group, the Delta Force. Exciting, fast paced adventure for men and women alike.
