Reading the back cover synopsis made me think this novel would be great. The North Koreans invading South Korea, and taking the Vice President hostage. Well, the SEALs in this novel take on several missions into enemy territory. The first mission is to rescue the VP, but it only takes a chapter or two to do that. Too easy. Felt this novel could have been better written and better plotted.
Well, the VP is safely back in Seoul. In the meantime, Don Stroh and the CIA send the SEALs on various missions into North Korea. One to destroy a remote radio transmission station that the U.S. and S. Korea do not want the NK's to get their hands on. Another mission has them rescuing a general and several CO's in NK territory.
But the main mission eventually to try and end this mini war between North and South is to take out the 3 North Korean generals managing the political/military scene of their country.
One fascinating part of the book, was a conflict between Seals, Fernandez and Douglas. They get into fistacuffs a couple of times, and are threatened by j.g. Dewitt that they would be shipped out of the SEALs and to Adak, Alaska. Well, it gets interesting toward the end of the novel, when the SEALs are in a firefight with some North Korean patrol and Douglas is ordered to cover Fernandez. Well he doesn't. Fernandez is seriously wounded. Also, a couple of other SEALs get grounded by wounds, and you may not see two or three of them in the next novel.
