I also found compelling the dynamic between the characters and their sense of comradeship.
The dialogue and descriptions ring with authenticity, and I was especially impressed with all the military language and details. Khost is nonstop suspense, action, and thrills. That is, except only one survivor, who has an incredible, terrifying story to tell, and whom nobody believes-nobody except the CIA, which soon sends a top-secret team to deal with the situation… And it becomes increasingly challenging in the province of Khost, where already an elite team of Delta Force Operators has gone missing. Instead of enhancing the humans, the chemical mutates them into beings that are way beyond human, into something horrifying and evil. They soon put it to the test in the province of Khost, where the Mujahideen hide inside a massive cave complex.īut things go awfully wrong. Afraid of losing, the Soviets develop a chemical weapon unlike any other in history, one with the power to enhance their soldiers in the battlefield. The tale begins in 1984, with the Soviet Union engaged in the bloody war with Afghanistan. Khost was a very pleasant surprise, and I found myself caring about the characters and their predicament and engrossed in the story until the end. Well, as it turned out, I had no reason to be apprehensive. The Alien movies are military science fiction, so I thought that perhaps the two genres would be similar. I’d never read a military horror novel before, though I’ve always been a big fan of the first two Alien movies. I was doubtful when I picked up Khost for review.
