Another thrilling book!

Good action and the Team gets a new toy to play with. Very nice description. I'm sure the writer puts a lot of effort in keeping these stories entertaining and the characters grow in every book. You get to see them in normal situations and not just in battle.

SEALs fighting in the Pacific and Middle East

This ST7 novel was very good, and Douglass seems to do a better job with this series compared to the Carrier series, although both are good. As the title of my review states, Team Seven fight in two theaters this novel, although the main plot centers around the Pacific. The first several chapters have the Seals in Iraq, on a mission the rescue a Kuwaiti government prisoner. Almost though the story was not going to match the cover. But the Seals fight through Iraqi soldiers, helicopters and MIGs to escape Iraq. A familiar face is not in this novel, Magic Brown, still recuperating from his injuries suffered in Iran on the previous mission, "Deathrace".So the middle of the book keeps the SEALs training in Coronado and Niland, with a new recruit. Word from CIA Contact Don Stroh is that a situation in North Korea is heating up and the Seals may be needed there. Well as they move to the Carrier USS Monroe, something else happens. A Japanese general invades the Kunashir Island which is Russian territory, but was owned by Japan prior to the end of WWII. General Nishikawa wants Russia to give the land back, but diplomacy has not worked in the past. His and many other Japanese have buried ancestors there.The Russians are ready to take out this band of Japanese invaders, but the U.S. and the Seals arrive first, and eventually, after some tight/tense moments at sea between the Russians and Americans, they work together to track the general down.Well rounded novel, that had plenty of action and dialogue and did not center on the Seals all the time, involving more of the Carrier crew. Some Bond like spy weapons are introduced that the Seals use, to take out the Japanese without injuring or killing them. One of the better ones in the ST7 series.

Another outstanding episode

Again, Mr. Douglass has kept me on the edge of my seat. As with his previous books in this series, they just keep getting better and better. Bravo Mr. Douglass.
