Really enjoyed this, more so than the first one. In this they could get right to the action without the setup of a series. It started with a so-called simple mission for info that turned nasty fairly quickly. Though there is no rest, since after the team makes it back they learn that a congresswoman was kidnapped and they are rushed in to find info and to get her back at all costs. It is done in the Balkans and that mess so it tries to explain the different factions which is basically impossible but that doesn't slow it down much.
Highly recommended, it's a tad to long but overall it's a really enjoyable read and I'm looking forward to reading more in the series.

This is a synopsis, not a review.
The book opens up with with Murdock and Seal Team 7 in Bosnia waiting to meet a CIA contact at a old monastary.
They run into some trouble when they meet their contact. They take out a group of militia soldiers. One escapes (Jankovich) and warns general Mihajlovic. The general rounds up some troupe and starts to search for the SEALs.
The seals get caught on the beach and getinto a fire fight. An AC 130 saves them. When they get back Murdock gets some heat because they found out he killed one of the guys back in the fight at the church while he was trying to surrender.
Congresswoman Kingston is in Greece and answers some reporters questions about the activity back in Yugoslavia. She is anti seals and wants to shut them down.
The seal team gets assigned to her rescue. They go to Greece? They tag up with a Delta team. They find out about a couple of guys on a boat that are believed to be involved in the Congresswomans abduction. They plan to grab the guys from the boat. The Greek officials spoil the party and also try to board the boat. one of the seals grabs a bad guy and get away.
The police arrest the other seal.

The 2nd book and it showed all the suspense and action of the first. The action is well told without seeming over the top and the author goes a long way to show that everything isn't easy for these men.
The author also shows the rivalry that goes one when the SEALs encounter an Army ranger team.

Second in the series done and dusted in a day and a half. Very easy reading gung-ho silliness similar to the first book.
Perfect easy reading for a cold dull day when you've left your brain still asleep in bed. :)

No one does combat like the Navy SEALs. This series pays homage to the brave men of the seals. This is action-packed military fiction.
