Review
"I wondered if in his debut novel, Smithson could match the talent he demonstrated in his brilliant memoir, Ghosts of War. The answer is yes, absolutely yes. One of the best novels I've ever read. Period."--Terry Trueman, Printz honor-winning author of STUCK IN NEUTRAL."Smithson's brilliant new novel is almost impossible to put down. Charles Main and Carrie Borden lead a cast of characters so lovingly drawn that when violence strikes in the Iraqi desert, the reader gasps. As they look to find themselves in this apocalyptic corner of the post-9/11 world, they find each other. And in Smithson's skillful story-telling, that fact alone seems like redemption enough."--Patricia McCormick, two-time National Book Award finalist and author of SOLD, PURPLE HEART, and NEVER FALL DOWN."10 KLICKS SOUTH OF WHISKEY is more than just another war novel. It's also about about understanding the responsibility we have to others-- and to our deeper selves. Its young narrator begins as a con man, a street magician, but grows to understand that he can no longer fool himself. He also discovers--through the deep bonds forged in war--that he's a better person than he gives himself credit for being.In this second book, informed by his experiences as a far-too-young contemporary soldier, Ryan Smithson proves, once again, that he's an author unafraid to face his own demons to create a moving and meaningful story."--Joseph Bruchac, acclaimed Abenaki poet and author of CODE TALKER, MARCH TOWARD THE THUNDER, and TALKING LEAVES

Ryan did a great job again. I felt like I was in the story immediately all the way to the last page. Ryan's writing easily invoked every emotion from me. I can't wait to read more. Thanks Ryan.
I was excited to read this book because I enjoyed Ryan's first book, "Ghosts of War". Ryan graduated from the same high school as my oldest two children, just a few years ahead of them, so the fact he was local drew my attention to Ghosts of War. I was blown away by his writing. I would strongly recommend Ghosts of War as required reading for high school history classes, to see what the Iraq and Afghanistan wars felt like to recent soldiers, in their age group. Later, when my own son joined the Army as a Cavalry Scout, and served in Afghanistan, I had a whole new appreciation for Ryan's book, and how he wrote so accurately, for those of us 'back home', what it was like to be a young soldier in a modern war.When I found out Ryan was writing a fiction book, about an Army guy (a Cav Scout like my son!) I couldnt wait to read it. It did not disappoint. Books like 10 Klicks are what those of us who are busy living our lives in a safe country that we rarely think of the realities of war, need. It's the story of a young soldier who ended up on foreign soil, in an Army uniform, for reasons not as patriotic as most. It traces his journey through boot camp, and deployment, letting us get to know the men (and woman) he serves with. He tells their stories along with his own. Just as the story is trotting along, a life altering event happens to the soldiers, and we get to see how they all react in the weeks afterward. By that point in the book you've come to care about the characters, and their outcomes matter. This book would also be great required reading for any high schooler, or adult. It's a great, ACCURATE, depiction of what is happening halfway across the world, on foreign sand, to men and women wearing our US uniforms.I highly recommend it. It's especially helpful for parents of soldiers who have or are going to be deployed. It gives us a peek into the world our kids' experience, without the immediate personal connection we might get from the stories we are lucky enough to dig out of our own soldier.
Where do I begin? This is brilliant. As I lived through Charlie Main's time in and around 10 Klicks, I was enthralled. When I occasionally tore myself away, returning to real life, I always wondered about the inspiration for these characters. In the real world, who is Carrie? Who is Shields? Are these completely out of Ryan Smithson's head? In the end, I decided I didn't care. Not to dismiss the plot, because it is interesting, but this book is, as many of my favorites are, very character-driven. Right from the outset, this is established. This is completely organic and you find yourself right there with them. You know them. You feel with them and need to know what happens to them next.Now, I purposely didn't start here, but I think it is worth mentioning: I didn't expect this. I loved Ghosts of War. That was nonfiction. I don't know many (any?) authors that can transition from nonfiction to fiction, effectively or otherwise.To anyone considering this book, it is totally worth the investment.To the author, Charlie Mike!
See my review under the kindle version. Absolutely engaging story about how real people handle the difficulties of a very current war. A peek into a world most of us will never see. We say 'thank you for your service', but do we know what their service actually looks like? Ryan's book gives us a peek into one version.More info in the review section of the Kindle version.
Ryan Smithson's fabulous memoir GHOSTS IF WAR showed us what a powerful storyteller he could be. But memoirs, being non-fiction trap a writer by facts. Smithson shows his remarkable talent as a novelist here in his first novel. This story rings so true and touches the heart while stimulating our understanding of the world and ourselves. A BRILLIANT debut.
An amazing book by a hometown author. The book just flowed and I felt like I knew the characters. The characters were believable, each with its own flaws. The end of the book left me wanting more. Hoping that Ryan will do a sequel!
So good ,even my teenage son picked it up and started reading ! 😊
