Top notch page turner! I've read most of the Machinko books and this one ranks right up there with the best! A fast paced story about a young SEAL officer trying to cope with the memory of his hero father. Author's website SEALSTRIKE.com indicates a sequel is on the way!

I couldn't put this book down. It was a great story filled with just enough technical material to give it authenticity without being tedious. The author takes you for an insiders look into the SEALs and their combat methodology. The characters are believable and compelling. I just ordered the author's new book The Warrior Code: SEAL Strike Book Two. ... Two Thumbs up!!!

I really enjoyed DEATH BEFORE DAWN! I've read a ton of SEAL and special forces books but this one was different. I felt like I was evesdropping on an actual SEAL mission. Most books use all the right words and lingo but this story made you FEEL what it's like to be a SEAL going in harms way. A must read for all military action enthusiasts!
