5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED it! Definitely EARNED all 5 stars.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED IT! I missed this one when available on the author's website for his "Ides of Matt" freebie short stories, so I bit the bullet (finally) and paid $2.99 for this roughly 45 page read (the remainder is a preview of the next/upcoming Night Stalkers series, which I did enjoy, too. It worked--I must buy that book when it comes out). Emily Beale is one of those characters who a woman *must* love, even though she's tough, brilliant, damn near perfect (everything I'm not). I think the reason why Emily's character became so very real to me and made me identify with her (though we're nothing alike) is she's everything I wish I could be. She's a fighter. She's tough. She's invincible--but only she (inside) knows how she's quaking in her boots. I loved this glimpse at her life *before* Night Stalkers. Before Mark Henderson. Before the White House. Her reason(s) for pursuing a male-only unit and her determination to be the best. It's short, yes. But powerful. And ripe with emotion. I loved it.

Highly recommended to M.L. Buchman's fans. Ignore the price tag and click BUY NOW. If YOU are not yet an M.L. Buchman fan, read THE NIGHT IS MINE (book 1 of the Night Stalkers series), and then you won't be able to leave this book out of your library.

Sensuality Level: mild
Language: mild
Violence: moderate (we see the effects of war but not most of the actual war violence)

4.0 out of 5 stars Short, short, short!

Very, very short. I thought "8 pages" was a typo. No such luck and the story was actually only 71% of the content.
Mr Buchman typically wants way too much for his short stories, but this was a real disappointment.
However, the story was well written, though I really that there had been more of it. He could have shown us several things we were told and given his readers a bit more for our money ($2.99 at this time.)

I enjoyed this short story very much! The story filled in some history for Emily Beale. After reading the first four novels in the Night Stalker's Series, I was hungry for more Emily Beale action! While this short story was only about 48 pages, it is a treasure for those readers who can not get enough of Emily Beale and her adventures! I highly recommend this short story for anyone who is enjoying the Night Stalker's Series! It is worth every cent of its price!

Mis-leading...
It's advertised as 78 pages - the story is more like 10 pages. Great story but too much money and the description is wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emily's Decision
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2015

A nice short story, where we learn why Screaming Eagle, Emily Beale, of the 101st Airborne, made the decision to become the first woman Night Stalker.

A lovely portrayal of her kind heart, as she and her co-pilot, Larry Engstrom, are shot down in Thailand. It is the story of their final moments, as they try and survive detection and capture by enemy drug lords. It is moving, and very well written.

Although this experience of Emily's was referenced in "The Night is Mine", it was nice to read about the details here.

The Night Stalker searies and offshoots of Emily Beale are the best.
Only down side they are to short. If they were longer you would get 5 stars.

Great Story. Well written. A little technical because I'm not in the military I could understand exactly what M.L. Buchman was describing but I really enjoyed this book and the rest of the series of books he wrote. I would recommend this author to anyone because I really enjoyed all of them.

Great writer. With a background story which gives an interest which grows my knowledge of the people, careers, places and situations i know so little about, as well as the enjoyment of knowing how great relationships come together with the right people, under unusual situations.
