Products similar to Wheels of Terror - Sven Hassel

Short, gritty, and yet awe inspiring. Ellis' best work by far. A couple of the stories could easily be dropped (I don't read some of them anymore).

Hilarious, Exceedingly warm and well-written, Will keep you up at night turning pages! None!

An interesting enough tale Not believable like Doyle's other work
