Intriguing premise

This excerpt is written so well that it suspends time and took me at the place and time. I like how the author described the actions and I was curious to find out how Sarge was going to cope with the lost of a couple of his team. The writing of this excerpt is excellent, the premise in intriguing that I want to keep turning the page. The only disapointment was that it ended so quickly.

Wow!

Two primary protagonists introduced in two entirely different ways, both fabulously executed and both guaranteed to have the readers drooling for more! What a great start!

In a textbook example of a "show, don't tell" writing style, Sergeant Curtis Jackson is introduced as the leader of an elite hand-picked special forces style military unit in the middle of an undercover insertion in war torn Beirut, Lebanon. High speed action and thrills ensue as SNAFUs of a magnitude that could only be achieved by the juxtaposition of high-tech computerized technology with the military entirely foul up a precisely planned commando style operation. Suffering casualties, the team is forced to retreat and the reader is left hanging high and dry wondering whether a secondary extraction point will prove successful.

Badar Baqai, on the other hand, is introduced in a quiet family setting ... enjoying a breakfast, reading the newspaper and interacting with his son. But what we see in these casual daily events is a ruthless, A-type personality who plays every game to win, someone who does not suffer fools gladly and will tolerate no less than 100% effort in every endeavour. That Badar Baqai will at some point meet Curtis Jackson is never stated. But I'll put $100 on the table now against any odds that says they'll confront one another at some point in the full flowering of this novel.

I'm hooked! Let me have the whole enchilada! Clearly, Douglas Perry can write "quiet", he can write "loud"; he can write "fast", he can write "slow"; he can write "character", he can write "action"! That's a helluva lot to achieve in the space of a 5000 word excerpt to a new novel.

Great introduction, Mr Perry! Count on me to buy the final product when you're published.

More, more, more.....

Hey that was a great short script of "Deadly Mistake". Excellent writting, clever characters, thrilling and action packed. So where can I get the rest? What happened at the end of the fight? See...you left me hanging...doh!

Very well written and entertaining read

Enjoyed the read! If you've ever read and enjoyed the works of Tom Clancy or Michael Crichton, this author (in my mind) will certainly entertain you. The writing is very descriptive, without falling into the trap of being so overly descriptive and full of figurative language that lulls you to sleep, or causes you to lose track of what is happening.

I look forward to reading the complete story sometime soon.

Very Captivating

In his short excerpt, the author grabbed his readers' attention by introducing two very intriguing characters (Badar & Sarge). Both characters strive to win, one has an individualistic approach and the other one values his team. I can't wait to see which one will make the deadly mistake.

Even a "non-techie" can follow and appreciate Mr. Perry's writing. I will definitely read this.

Sarge is the leader of an elite commando team that has never lost a battle, never lost a man, until under suspicious circumstances their entire team is decimated. Only Sarge survives but he's injured and alone in a hostile foreign country. He has to covertly make his way back to the US and discover how high the conspiracy goes and are they still after him. He forms a tenuous partnership with the most likely suspect to find the motive and the person behind the tragedy. A final thrilling confrontation between Sarge and the killer provides a satisfying ending to his struggle.
