4-6Shadow Squadron series.
Illustrated by
Wilson Tortosa
&
Benny Fuentes.
In two fast-paced, easy-to-read episodes, a special ops military unit attempts to infiltrate enemy territory in Afghanistan and Iran to apprehend terrorist suspects threatening U.S. security. Tense computer-game-style illustrations show the Shadow Squadron fighting off enemy attacks; glossaries precede each chapter to define key words. There's no character development, but the high-energy, non-stop action will appeal to the series' fans. Review covers these Shadow Squadron titles: Dragon Teeth and Long Shadow.
