This book is very well written and I give Praise to the author for the pacing and arranging of  things, and bringing the characters to life in such a manner that they don’t all blend into one.



Legend was an awesome book and a fast read it will leave you breathless and thankful for those us served in the military in Vietnam and other wars .
