About this ebook
Blessed are the Peace Keepers, for they will be called God's Children.
[Matthew; 5:9]
It is from this Biblical saying that Harold Coyle has taken the title of his new novel, God's Children. Yet peacekeeping is not child's play. A tale of high-tech warfare set in near-future Slovakia, God's Children is the story of the 3rd Platoon, C Company, 2nd Battalion of the 13th Infantry, and two young officers who try to keep a peace that is falling apart before their very eyes.
Simultaneously an action-filled adventure and a study of contemporary issues facing today's soldier, this novel displays Coyle's vast knowledge of military affairs through thrilling yet realistic scenes. Proving once again that Coyle is a master of military fiction, God's Children is as timeless as war itself.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Again, liked it, except Coyle has a bit of his reputation built on the fact that he has "been there, done that"...and yet he makes a few small, but unmistakable errors into a few simple facts of the life of an infantryman:1. MREs are not freeze-dried, they do not require water to reconstitute them. They are vacuum-sealed and, as the name implies, ready to eat.2. It is mechanically impossible for the hammer of an Armalite to fall on an empty chambre when out of ammunition. There is no "dead man's click".3. I have never, ever heard of anyone keeping their sidearm cocked and ready to fire (safety off) in their holster, but I realize that not everyone is as smart as I am, so I'm willing to accept that some doofus did this.Based on these three errors, I have come to the conclusion that Coyle has:1. Never eaten a meal in the field.2. Never carried a rifle.3. Doesn't know how to handle a sidearm.and therefore has in fact, served not in the infantry, but the Air Force.Despite this, I will continue to read his work. Who of us is perfect?
