The US Review of Books (USRB) highly praised “Back to Somalia” by Glenn A. Bell

Mark Heisey of the US Review of Books reviewed and commended “Back to Somalia” by Glenn A. Bell.

“Back to Somalia” by Glenn A. Bell is an intense and gripping military thriller that takes readers on a high-stakes journey into the heart of covert operations. The novel excels in several key areas, creating a compelling and memorable story.

Glenn Bell, like the main character Ethan Breaux in his new action novel, was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He grew up hunting in the woods of southwestern Louisiana as well as fishing in the lakes and rivers in the confines of Calcasieu Parrish. Glenn loves the spicy Cajun cuisine of his native state. The word is that he makes one of the South’s best, old-fashioned Pecan pies.

Here is an excerpt from the US Review of Books that highlights:

“Bell’s military adventure is a heist story at its heart. Having served as an Army helicopter pilot and air mission commander in real life, Bell fills his novel with his firsthand knowledge of the aircraft involved and the manner in which missions are conceived and executed. His writing is detailed and businesslike, and his sentences are clear. The protagonist speaks disparagingly of Muslims and Islam, which some might find offensive. There are also points where too much minute information is shared, but military enthusiasts will likely enjoy the additional particulars. The action scenes are engaging, feeling like a mix of The A-Team and Top Gun. Readers who are looking for an armed forces-inspired novel centered on mission planning and attack choppers will find all of that in this book.”
