Wow. It must take a lot of courage and commitment to your cause to go back to fighting even after being declared dead.
Great review!

Historical fiction connected to the Vietnam War is always tough, this time with the protagonist's almost-death case. I wonder about the long-term consequences connected to his flashbacks. Thank you for your great review!

The plot seems interesting. James literally came back from the dead. Flashbacks grab readers' attention as they encourage them to tie the threads and piece together the puzzle of the story. It causes curiosity to know if James can fully recover.

The summary provided in your review was captivating. I was eager to read the sample pages. I found them to be quite engaging and thrilling. The opening scene with Jim in the body bag felt like I was watching a movie sequence. Because of the suspense created by the author, I wanted to keep reading. Congrats on the BOTD!

Just having read the sample, I originally found it a bit difficult to read as the style of the writer was something I am not use to. But all in all, I felt there was a good connection to your review and what the writer of From Hell to Home has managed to depict. Personally, I am not a fan of Profanity in reads, therefore I would give the book a skip. I thank you for the warning and recommendation.

I am continually amazed by James' unwavering dedication to his military duties, especially considering the head injury he sustained. It is a testament to his remarkable patriotism and loyalty to his country. Despite the challenges and potential setbacks, James's determination to fulfill his responsibilities is truly inspiring. His commitment to serving his nation, even in the face of adversity, highlights his deep sense of duty and selflessness. James serves as a shining example of a true patriot, and his story serves as a reminder of the remarkable sacrifices made by individuals in service to their country.

Congrats on BOTD!
Excellent reviews A Marine and expert marksman named Jim Coleman wakes up in a body bag after a failed mission in Vietnam. This is the beginning of his journey of recovery, grief, and duty as he grapples with the ethics of war and comes to terms with everything the war has taken from him.
