Bangkok File

BANGKOK FILE Dale Dye “Bangkok File may not be the last thriller to use the Vietnam War as a backdrop, but it just might be the best. Dale Dye proves himself once again to be as good a storyteller as he was a soldier during his own distinguished military career, bringing his stalwart Shake Davis back to the grounds that define him to this day on a Conrad-esque journey into the heart of darkness. Featuring a terrific and timely premise, Bangkok File is action thriller writing of the highest order, as Dye manages to combine the pacing and plotting of Stephen Hunter with the angst-rattled soldier's sensibility of Phillip Caputo. He hits the bulls-eye dead center, resulting in a tale as riveting as it is relentless and not to be missed.” —Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author of the Caitlin Strong series “Tom Clancy meets Chesty Puller! A wall-to-wall action roller-coaster ride by a master author in his prime, who is also intimately familiar with actual combat. Along with a superb depiction of real-world action from a world-class warrior-wordsmith, this book also gives us a profound insight into the world stage: "Terrorism as a new form of international negotiations." Welcome to the 21st Century. But take heart! There are real “Shakes" out there, and Bankok File gives us a peek at what is actually going on, behind the scenes, world-wide. —Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, Author of On Combat and On Killing
