H. Evers: The only weakness in this book is the tactics employed by the CAV. The deployment of the mortars, the lack of security, ADA readiness, and just the unCAV like assembly area were well bogus.
The action was well written which made up for a lot. BTW, the current CAV TO&E sucks. Should be Brads and M1A2e3’s with each Squadron having a 8 Gun Battery of M109’s. But that is another story.

Eddy Van Swalm: As i mentioned in the headline a good well written battle report. You really can't call it a book. The instruction manual for my new TV set is bigger. I can understand the Ka-ching element in writing a lot of
small books, but this diminishes the story as a whole. A group of American scouts, together with a unit of
Polish troops have to chase the Russians troops dug in at a bridge. The start of WWIII in a few pages, almost
no description of the characters, turning the whole book into a very well written battle scenario. When the writing talent is there, why not follow a Tom Clancy or a Colin Gee. Write a big book with people, with a life, a family , friends in the unit, etc. On the other hand, a small book is easier to read while eating yr
dinner (yes, i 'm one of those, sue me)

Larry Briscoe: First of all, thanks for putting Scouts at the for front in your book,.However a scouts best weapon is a radio because that one scout can bring hell down on the enemy. Also these scouts seem a little throw back. No mention of night vision , thermos, or A organic uav at the platoon level. No LRAS on the Stryker which they could of used to recon the bridge and further with out being seen. Scheme of maneuver wasn't realistic no unit would be duck's in a row on a road leading to a bridge especially if enemy contact was expected. Hell fire is a air to ground missle used against hardened targets. But I like the kick ass hard charging CAV Nco . If you ain't cav you ain't sh!t!

Hendricks Book Reviews: Book Review – In Nick Ryan’s “Charge to Battle” book, Russian troops pour into northern Poland and an elite platoon of American Army soldiers in Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicles (ICV) face a dangerous reconnaissance assignment of clearing a route for a US Army Cavalry unit preparing to counterattack the advancing Russians before they reach Warsaw. But the Americans’ difficult mission is made even more complicated when a less-military trained Company of Polish militia are added by NATO to the counter attacking force, and the now joint-force runs into a vital bridge along the route that is unexpectedly defended by the Russians. Faced with an impossible battle to win the bridge, and the challenge of the unreliable Polish allies, the American Cavalry must find a way to fight through the dug-in Russian force that is determined to hold the vital crossing at all costs. The light-armored Stryker is an eight-wheeled armored fighting vehicle produced by for the United States Army. It has four-wheel drive (8×4) and can also be switched to all-wheel drive (8×8). Significantly lighter and more transportable than existing tanks and armored vehicles, the Stryker fulfills an...

Graham Clark: This is a good chapter in a book yet to be written. One idea is well expressed …. But one idea is not a book. Must try harder

Amazon Customer: The main characters well fleshed out, the action chaotic and engrossing but the story left me wanting more. Way too short!

Sam Martinez: These are quick-read stories. If you are looking for Tom Clancy, these are not as in-depth as his novels. In fact, they read almost like a first draft of a Clancy novel. The characters are not well fleshed out but the storyline held my interest. The battle scenes are quite gruesome. I've read two of Mr. Ryan's novels and his antagonists seem to be a little overblown but not impossible. As Mr. Ryan acquires more writing experience, his stories will gel into something more substantial and I look forward to reading his works as he does so. Do you want to fight the Russians in Poland using today's order of battle, equipment, and training? Then this is the novel for you.

Mike Keller: From the first chapter to the last this was a terrific read. I couldn't put it down, couldn't stop until the last word. My adrenalin was high throughout, coursing through my veins bringing my nerves to a fever pitch. Like I stood amidst the action myself, I flinched with every passing bullet, my muscles twitched as I tried to roll away from a burning Stryker, my eyes searched off the page for the grenade thrown too close. I'm gloriously cheered by a successful operation, but I am so tired, like I just slogged through the mud and the blood with the heroes in the fight. I was one with Edge, tied to his waist with bullets whining overhead and shrapnel flying.

Amazing, intense action so thoroughly described it was truly possible to imagine myself in the midst. Realistic and terrifying, I couldn't put it down.
