When Iran threatens to become the latest entrant in the nuclear armaments race, Lieutenant Blake Murdock and SEAL Team Seven are sent to the Middle East to destroy the nuclear complex, with the help of a female civilian named Katherine Garnet. Original.
As has been typical with most action/adventure series novels, the stories are action packed and well thought of, but the editors lack a keen eye for spelling and grammatical errors. This book is no different. I've learned to overlook errors and go with the story. Deathrace sets Seal Team Seven in Iran to take out a nuclear facility and its few nuclear bombs. One problem, none of the team knows how to dismantle a nuke. Enter, Kat Garnet, top physicist and triathlon champion, oh, and a female. A female in the SEALs? President's orders. Well, Kat gets a two week crash course on how to be a SEAL, shooting the weapons, swimming several miles, running long distances with 40 pounds of gear on your self. Well, she actually does well, and at times better than the men! Will she do well when real combat takes place? The first 200 pages deal with her getting trained, while a couple of SEALs help a CIA agent find the Nuclear Facility in Iran. The last 100 pages, have the team infiltrating the Nuke Plant, doing their job and trying to get out of Iran before capture. They have 40 miles to go to make it to the coast, and plenty of angry Iranians in between them and their freedom.
One of the best thing about this series is that you never know what you'll read next. Having to take a woman on a mission is certainly a no-no for SEALs but they did their jobs like the President ordered. Very interesting to see the men react to a woman in their ranks but the action parts never disappointed. A super story with both strong and weak points.
I found the story very well written. I had a hard time putting it down. I Enjoy this type story when it is, written as this one was. I felt as though I was a member of the SEAL team and right there in the thick of things. Kwell
