Marks of Valor (Seals: The Warrior Breed, Book 6) [Mass Market Paperback]

H. Jay Riker (Author)

Book Description

Series: Seals, the Warrior Breed | Publication Date: December 1, 1998

A desperate war is seeping into areas where U.S. troops are officially forbidden to go. The new battlegrounds are Cambodia and Laos -- undefended nations pulled into the violent conflict they border. This is a battle that must be fought savagely -- and in secret -- as the burden falls upon the shoulders of the most capable and committed stealth warriors in America's arsenal: the SEALs. Commander David Nolan proved the battle could be won when he rigged the bay at Sihanoukville, Cambodia, and rescued downed pilots from the jungles around the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Now a pilot with too much information is trapped in the DMZ, and only Nolan and his small band of SEALs have a chance of bringing him back. But trust is a dangerous commodity in this sea of lies and bad judgments, and more than one brave man has been swept away in the shifting tides of wartime politics. Even one small glitch in the daring rescue plan could prove fatal...in this war where "nothing" goes according to plan.

This review is from: Marks of Valor (Seals: The Warrior Breed, Book 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

Having read books 1-5 in the SEALS:The Warrior Breed series, I couldn't wait to get my hands on book 6, Marks of Valor. The book is an excellent continuance in the series of characters which I have grown attached to. In the book, there could have been a little more action. The book spent more time on getting to know the SEALs and how it was like back in America during the Vietnam War. (I'm one of those who like to read about the guerrilla fighting) I think H. Jay Riker is writing an excellent series and this book continues to pull me deeper into it. Excellent work, Mister Riker. I can't wait to read "In Harm's Way" and other books following it in this excellent and ongoing series.

This review is from: Marks of Valor (Seals: The Warrior Breed, Book 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a great series. And since I've read the memoirs of some of the real life SEALs, I've been able to identify some of the characters in these books as real. Mr. Riker does an awesome job in meshing the facts with the fiction. This series is an enjoyable read. Can't wait to get my hands on the next three!

One of the greatest books I have ever read. Riker did a great job on this one. It had a little something for everyone. Good action, a little love, and some real life type situations from the homefront made this one a must read.
