 Author’s Comments Stay low, keep moving, and never ever quit! De oppresso liber. COL (Ret) Tom “The Squid” Davis I like the way the story reads, quick into the action with brisk dialogue; reminds me of some of Loren Estleman's work. I didn't have a clue what the title, “R-complex” meant until I read the explanation. I really like the graphic Special Ops traps! Started the book last night. Lots of dialogue. Details of dirty trick killings are very realistic. It reads quickly. Not for the squeamish, but it'll keep you up to 2am turning pages! Some of the best description of Spec. Ops prep I've ever read. Author, Tom Davis, has “been there and done that!” I've finished the book in only 2 sittings - I thought it was great! When's the next one coming out? One of the things I like about the book is that there’s a hook at the end of each chapter that pulls you to the next one. Recommend you don’t start it until you have the time to read it in one sitting. Thanks for the good read, Tom. I am glad you are one of the good guys. And while I'd have to think twice about inviting you to dinner with my family if you are ever in the area, I am thankful for the time you spent serving our country. I never had the honor of serving, and greatly appreciate those who have. I finished reading the book. I really enjoyed it. I got hooked and read two-thirds of it in one evening! This is my kind of read as it got right to the action. The writing is excellent. Part I liked best was the planning and execution of the raid on the Colombian hideout. We both have read your action-packed thriller. It certainly is a combination of Death Wish and Rambo! My wife is betting that they will be making a movie of it in the not-too-distant future. I started reading "The R-complex" last night and could hardly put it down! I got almost half-way finished before the basketball game came on (Hey, Carolina is playing for the National Championship)- I expect to finish it tonight. Just finished reading THE R-COMPLEX. What a tense, exciting and fast-moving novel. The author tells the story with such a vividly descriptive style of writing. Congratulations to a master story-teller. Finished your book. It is outstandingly descriptive and extremely well written. It shows your expertise in weapons, in tactics and in organization - it also shows your amazing grasp of fiction interlaced with reality. I congratulate you on such a detailed piece of work. I finished the R-Complex this morning. It has an amazing way of keeping your heart in the game throughout, without ever appearing to be written solely for the purpose of keeping the reader suspended....  years
