Summary: Reisig deserves more recognition and a national audience!
Comment: Let me start this review by simply saying that Michael Reisig is one of the best new storytellers that I have read in recent years! Having read his extremely impressive apocalyptic novel, "The New Madrid Run", a few years ago, I was pleased to finally find a copy of "The Hawks of Kamalon". What Reisig has created in this book is a novel of epic proportions. He has created memorable characters entwined in a gripping and thrill-a-minute plot.
Take a novel that thrusts WWII pilots from the British and US Air Force into a cosmic world located light years away, throw in battle scenes taken straight out of the Battle of Britain and The Alamo and you've got "Hawks...". The novel really takes off when the pilots are drawn through a time portal to serve as the last-ditch heroes for a nation under seige by an evil dictator. Using their WWII Spitfires and P-51's to fill the skies with bombs and bullets to protect their new friends, they soon find themselves drawn closer to these people than they expected to be. In a book filled with multiple heroes, Reisig does a fine job keeping all of the characters straight in the reader's mind while making an unbelieveable sci-fi premise, almost believeable.
"Hawks..." is a classic tale of good vs. evil and much of the action is straight out of a Clint Eastwood or John Wayne movie. The battle scenes are very graphic and create vivid word pictures. And while the "escape from the throes of death" scenes that the heroes keep surviving are more than a little far-fetched, (reminded me a lot of the Matthew Reilly books, so his fans will love "Hawks...") this is a book filled with action, romance, and energy.
Unlike many reviewers who rave about not being able to put down certain novels, I rarely have experienced that sensation. It's for that reason that I was so impressed with "Hawks...". It really is "un-put-down-able"! Here's hoping that Michael Reisig continues to write great stories like "Hawks..." and "The New Madrid Run" and begins to get the recognition on a national basis that he deserves for being a great storyteller!
HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!

Summary: Top 'o the Line Story
Comment: Reisig is one of the best story tellers around. "Hawks" is a real true adventure story .. but mixed in is love, both for country, mankind and between man and woman.
This book should be on everyone's "must read" list. And with it should go his "Madrid Run."
I'm totally sold on this writer - this story teller. He does it with both finesse and boldness, never leaving a reader hanging in the air wondering what the story is all about.

Summary: Reisig- Story Teller par excellance
Comment: Reading Michael Reisig books is similar to listening to the oral story tellers of old. You quickly forget you are reading and fall into the spell of the story being told to you. It's a grand thing to find a writer like Reisig who's narrative leads you deeper and deeper into his story and it's characters. "Hawks" is a masterful book. My copy was dog-eared from my two readings, and is now back on my shelf after three friends insisted on reading it. Long live the Hawks of Kamalon!
