The Home Team: Undeclared War [Mass Market Paperback]

Dennis Chalker (Author), Kevin Dockery (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 28, 2004

A combination of Vince Flynn and Richard Marcinko, The Home Team series features a group of former Special Forces operators who have become the most lethal weapon in the war on terror––a war that is now fought on our own soil.

The story of one soldier pushed too far. When a scandal and cover–up within the service ended his career as a Navy SEAL, Ted 'Grim' Reaper returned to his home. But when drug dealing terrorists intrude on his early retirement and threaten his family, he bands together with a group of special forces operators to show the dealers the true meaning of retribution. Skilled in all forms of combat, weapons, explosives, special equipment, and tactics, the group of soldiers is unchecked by any government agency, unsupervised by any congressional committee, and fully prepared to do what must be done to win their own private war at any cost.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Writing Team!, October 21, 2005

This review is from: The Home Team: Undeclared War (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved this new beginning of a fast-paced action adventure read. Great find.

My only nitpick is that sometimes too much detail is added on. Slows down the scene a bit.

But the writers obviously know their craft. And fantastic and fun scenarios in battling terrorists.

Get this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Undeclared Excitng reading!!, September 13, 2005

Apollo Reader (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Home Team: Undeclared War (Mass Market Paperback)

Although I have never heard of these two writers, I could almost tell right away by the sound of the synopsis on the back cover that this was going to be good.

And I wasn't disappointed.

And if you like fast-paced action/adventure reading, along with rich details, then you will enjoy this also.

This would make for a great Hollywood film. But knowing them, they would most likely botch it up. Unless a great director was attached to it, like Tony Scott, Randall Wallace, or Steven Speilberg, just to name a few.

As to the book? The writers seem to know what they are talking about. One being an ex-Navy SEAL. Gritty and cool, The Home Team Undeclared War novel is chock full of revenge driven men, getting together to help out a friend, who's family has been taken hostage by a band of terrorists.

Even though I do like detail, sometimes this came across a bit too much, slowing down the pace. But if you are looking for an above average military type revenge story, then this one is for you.

I look forward to reading the next in the series - Hostile Borders. As well as the other books written by these solid seeming authors.

This review is from: The Home Team: Undeclared War (Mass Market Paperback)

Chief Chalker is one of the few who can say he's actually been there/done that when it comes to Special Operations. As is common these days Chalker follows up his autobiographies with a fictional series about Navy SEAL Chief Reaper. While the overall plot of Undeclared War isn't amazing (the only reason I couldn't award 5 stars) the fast paced action, stunning realism, and interesting characters makes this a hit. The second book in the series, Hostile Borders, is also highly recommended.
