Amazing work. This book eats you up and keeps you inside it until you finish the last word and then you are sad to be let go. Dan and Vadim's epic love story is one I will not soon forget. I loved every sentence in this book and that rarely happens for me. I read more than the average person and am on target to complete over 300 books this year and this story stands out far ahead of most anything I've ever read. This story will linger for a very long time. I am not a typical m/m love story reader and this is one of my first and boy oh boy did I start at the top. I can't imagine finding another author that can combine an utterly emotional read with the trappings of war and a love that runs deep into the souls of these characters. WOW!

Thank you Mr. Voinov for putting this story in my head. I wish I could write like you. ( )

Oh, please can I give this 10 stars? I really have no words. All of the previous reviews have already said all the perfect words. For a mature, adult reader this will be a life changing novel. Admittedly, I put my life on hold to finish this book. I just couldn't stop reading. The character building was everything. I will carry Dan and Vadim with me forever.

Every once in a while a book comes along which changes your life. I can safely say "Special Forces" did it for me. From the first few pages, the story grabbed me and didn't let me go. Not till I finished the whole 1,000,000 word saga and even after, finding out the story behind the story.
Apart from the great action, hot sex and intense emotion that sears with unrelenting force page after page, the whole evolution of the epic is worth commenting on.
Published on the net, chapter by chapter. Written by two people, carrying the traditional role playing game to the next level. It's a landmark in web-based publishing and a testimony to the two writers that they created a cohesive whole over the two and a half years it took to write.
Sure until the "Director's Cut" edition came along there were mistakes in tense, point of view and English expression, mainly because of the fact English was a second language for the writers, but none of these faults detracted from the force of the story.
Unlike traditionally published books, "Special Forces" never got that second draft where a writer will assess what their first draft created as a whole and ensure the plot has all the traditional aspects of black moments and climaxes.
So once again it's a testament to the writers that their creation hangs together so well as a readable whole.
