Tasked with stopping a plot by Saddam Hussein, the SEALs must use all their skills and discipline to stop a biological rocket attack. The SEALs of the NSMD have only a narrow window to neutralise the threat. Only by using submarine technology and tactics can they hope to complete the mission. If they fail thousands, perhaps millions, of lives, could be lost. And if they succeed, no one will ever know what happened. Locked and loaded, the SEALs are ready for war.
I agree with previous reviews about the details in this book. Compared to other offerings in this genre it reads as more authentic and realistic. The action is thrilling without being over the top and unbelievable. Let's hope "S. M. Gunn" keeps them coming.
Loaded with tactical details
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Whoever this author is, he sure packs his SEAL novels with plenty of tactical details. The target reader is someone who revels not only in the big geopolitical picture, but also in such minutiae as the correct stacking order of a train, or how SEALs get heavy equipment loads up a caving ladder, or what is the proper swim formation to board a ship. It's all here, and it's all woven into the plot with outstanding believability. Most of us will never know if the details are correct or authentic, but this guy's writing sure sounds realistic. If you're a SEAL fan, don't miss this book!
