The Seal Team series is a source of consistently good military thrillers, which are fast, but enjoyable reading. They are not as verbose as a Tom Clancy type thriller, but they are the same type of story.

This is the debut novel of the series, and as one reviewer dubbed it, a fine example of the blood and bayonet genre. I can't think of a better description myself, and am entirely jealous.

I haven't read many books that follow SEAL Team Six, mostly they have only made an appearance in some of the books that I've read. So this is somewhat of a new reading experience for me. When this book and the others of this series were made available for me on NetGalley I picked them up hoping to try something different.

What I really enjoyed about this book was that you could tell that Don Mann really knows his stuff. Everything was described with such precision and with some of the events that happened in this book you would either have to have real-life knowledge or an amazing imagination in order to have written them.

Crocker was such a dynamic character to follow. On the one hand he is a strong leader of his group, but on the other hand he is a man who has learned from his previous mistakes and wants to be able to spend time with his family. I loved his strength but also that little bit of vulnerability he would show from time to time.

I loved the action in this book. While it is prevalent throughout the book it does build towards the end until you're left on the edge of your seat gasping at the final showdown. I really look forward to reading more of this series.
