Stacey has done it again! This book was great. You can't help buy fall in love with her characters. She leaves you wanting more. I found myself at the end of the story, flipping back and forth to make sure I read correctly and it was the end . . I wanted just a little more time with them.

When a foreign aid worker falls in love with a war lord in Sudan, there are unexpected consequences. A great exploration into a country known for the atrocities of genocide and those who perpetrate it.

A great portrayal of what it was like to fly helicopters in Vietnam. Mason's no-nonsense descriptive prose might be plain by some standards, but it works really well in contrast to the intensity and difficulty of the events that he's describing. Starting with his descriptions of learning to fly a helicopter, Mason walks step-by-step through the strangeness of combat conditions, equipment shortages, and on through a series of difficult and dangerous missions. Mason witnesses horrible situations and does some pretty crazy stuff with a helicopter. None of this seemed glorified or glossed over - a real feat of skill given the level of emotion that accompanies events like this. One of my favorite books that I've read this year - made me want a 4.5 rating!
