If you want a close peek at the brutal daily experiences of those the US sent on its misadventure in Vietnam, this historical novel will give you that, with a detailed focus on the air aspect of the war (especially regarding those who flew the F-100 and F-105). Politicians inclined to "send in our military" without clear objectives and exit strategies should be forced to read this book and others like it.
However, the book itself needs significant editing to clean up errors like missing punctuation and incorrect word choice, and some revision to help the story flow would help too.

Stuart J. Whitmore reviewed Novum : Genesis by Joseph Rhea
Review of 'Novum : Genesis' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I enjoyed Novum and would like to read more as the series develops. This first story gives a good introduction to the characters and setting, all of which seemed to be designed well with enough complexity to be interesting and believable without drowning the reader in too much detail. The character motivations are sound, as are interactions among them. There's enough to this book that it is a complete story, but it also leaves open enough conflict that there is plenty of room for story development, and the conflicts are important enough to leave you wanting to know how they are resolved.
