Lieutenant Blake Murdock and his seven-man unit from SEAL Team Seven's Red Squad embark on a perilous mission to recover a Japanese freighter carrying nuclear fuel from the renegade Iranian fanatics that hijacked it.
The first in this series and is by far one of the best. While it may seem to start out slow, all first books are like this. This book however heats up and never starts. It will bring to life the characters you will get used to as you read the series, lets you see their personalities, etc. The action is wonderfully written. A book that can be read more than once.
The one that started it all!!

I have read the entire series of Seal Team Seven and still come back to re-read the novel that started it all!! Douglass's initial portrayal of the Team is very authentic - the close ties to the Teams and their brothers-in-arms. Everything seems to have been well though out and kept as realistic as it could be. Too bad after the 4th or 5th novel, this gets lost in a sea of techno-gadgetry and Rambo-esque battles.
Hang on tight for a great roller coaster ride! Hoo-Yaah!

This is the book that starts it all. A great book about the Navy SEALs. If you are into the subject, you will love this book and are bound to enjoy the rest of Keith Douglass' series. Great characters and great action! You'll soon be looking for the next book in the series.
Great Story

I loved this book! It had an excellent blend of suspense and a good storyline. I love Douglas's description of the battles and how he describes each encounter so thoroughly. I enjoyed reading about the raid on the plutonium carrying boat and how they rescued the ship. This is a great book for anyone who enjoyes other special ops books.
The Best!!!

SEAL Team Seven, the first in the series, is the best book out there. It has the perfect blend of action, pace, and the development of characters. Douglass also explains the weapons and equipment perfectly, not too much and not too little. I, myself, appreciated his accuracy in these matters, as well as SEAL operations. This book is highly recommended to anyone who enjoys special ops. I read it once every year.
