Deploying to the middle-east with a SEAL Team is a life changing experience for a new SEAL. For an intelligence analyst without SEAL training, it can be traumatic. Navy Lieutenant (JG) Lee Toliver, Naval Academy Graduate, Linguist and Middle East Polyglot, is assigned to Trident, an Office of Naval Intelligence group dedicated to Naval Special Warfare Command. Having survived injuries from a suicide bombing in London, and almost a year in and out of Brooke Military Burn Center in Texas, he is ready to get his career back on track and anticipating his introduction to the SEAL Team he will support. American born linguists fluent in Middle East languages are in short supply and always in demand. His fluency in Pashto brought him to the attention of Detachment Bravo of SEAL Team 2 deploying to Bagram, Afghanistan. But Lee was also fluent in several dialects of Arabic. Seal Team 3 was raging across Anbar Province in Iraq, and in 2006, Ramadi is back on the radar for a major operation. Lee is about to find out that deploying with a SEAL Team has only a passing acquaintance with intelligence office work. In SEAL Team direct action ops, interpreters and interrogators are needed outside the wire as much as inside. Going kinetic, is a term he will come to understand intimately.
I have read everything R H Pyle has written and when I discovered the Igor book it immediately went to my library. Once I started it I couldn't put it down. The action never stops and the characters draw the reader into the feeling of knowing each one, like you are in the same unit. I can't wait for next book in the series.
Igor is a unique character. Truly fascinating . Mr. Pyle writes a steady story that slowly., but surely immerses you into the life of the fight on terror. Looking forward to the next book.
Excellent, I was completely involved in the many situations as the story unfolds. The different scenarios of the story were constantly moving me from place to place with Igor. The story was captivating and situations very realistic.
