White Needle

(4) 4-6 Shadow Squadron series. These books star an elite U.S. military special ops force. In White Needle the squad prevents Syrian rebels from using stolen chemical weapons. In Phantom Sun it saves eight American scientists held hostage in Antarctica by Russian forces. Designed to resemble classified military reports, the high-octane stories are accompanied by action-packed illustrations. There's not much character development, but that's not the point. Review covers these Shadow Squadron titles: Phantom Sun and White Needle.
