Way back at the start of this thread I mentioned my all time favourite book “Chickenhawk”. Well I just finished a book called “Reflections of a Warrior “ and wow!!

Now I have it tied in first place with no other book coming close to these two. A must read. Starts off ok, then good, then better, then you realize every page is taking it to the next level. By the end it is just crazy.
