Customer Reviews

Great and emotional

One of the best in the series. As a reader I enjoy the series very much as do all fans. This book has action as the SEALs try to defend the US holdings on Kenyan soil but what I thought was the most moving was the end. The writer shows that these men are human. Blake's reaction to the death of his friend is still a very hard moment to read.

Intense

These Seal Team books are great! While I generally prefer more mainstream war novels like "The Triumph and the Glory" to these more tighly focused novels, Douglass is so good at what he does that I never miss one of his books.

Excellent

This book really describes weapons specifications and war politics if you are into those. The book includes real training methods used by real SEALs in Boot Camp. The book so excellently describes the SEAL's missions it's as if you are there with the SEALs. Non-stop action and the introduction of new weapons and scenarios is excellent in this book. Definetely one of my favorites. I have all of the Seal Team Seven series right now. Waiting, hoping, for more. :-)

A truly exciting and action-packed book by Douglass

This is the first book I had a chance to read in the Seal Team Seven series and also the first book I ever read about Seals. The book is filled with action, realistic missions, high-tech warfare, and the best and most up-to-date tactical weapons and equipment. I guarantee you are NOT wasting your money if you buy this book! After I read this book, I went out and bought every other book in the series. Keith Douglass has gone from being an author I never heard of, to my favourite (that's right I am Canadian, so I did not make a spelling mistake)author! I am just praying he writes many more in the series. I am not going to give any of the book away, so all I will tell you is buy it!!!! It is a very exciting book! I have read the book six times and it has gotten my adrenaline going each time. Once you read it, please e-mail and let me know what you think. And just because I am Canadian who says I can't love the U.S. Navy Seals?

Best Author on Fiction for Navy SEALs I have ever read!

Keith Douglass knows the military lingo and the situations the SEAL Teams get into. His characters are real people who evolve through ech book. This book in the series is no exception. You will think you are part of the Team!
