Navy Cross (Seals: The Warrior Breed, Book 4) [Mass Market Paperback]

H. Jay Riker (Author)

Book Description

Series: Seals, the Warrior Breed | Publication Date: December 1, 1996

The Elusive Victory

This is a war like no other: a fierce jungle contest pitting U.S. soldiers against a vicious, invisible enemy who is lost in the rocks, trees, in the earth itself, and among the civilian population. From half a world away, irresponsible politicians devise strict rules of engagement based on misunderstandings and deliberate deciets. For the Navy SEALs, Vietnam has been a proving ground -- a world of carefully controlled ops and sudden mad moments of explosive horror. But now the war's nightmare is intensifying as ultimate victory falls farther out of reach. And it will take more than skill, courage, and toughness for these unparalleled commandoes to win their unequal battles -- and more than luck to bring them back alive.

5.0 out of 5 stars H.Jay Riker does it again. Fantasitc!, September 15, 1999

This review is from: Navy Cross (Seals: The Warrior Breed, Book 4) (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read all of the books in this series and this book along with the others is fantastic. Not only does the reader get a gritty look at what it was like to be a SEAL in the Vietnam era but also what kind of men did the job. You actually get a look at SEAL lives outside of the jungle giving you a chance to know the men. Action and Navy life all in one. A great read for those wanting to know how it was to be a SEAL then and a great read for SEALS of the future. Awesome book and a awesome series!!!

This review is from: Navy Cross (Seals: The Warrior Breed, Book 4) (Mass Market Paperback)

Though this is book 4 of the series, it is the first one I have read. It was lent to me by a friend, and I am HOOKED. H. Jay Riker does a terrific job of telling it like it really was. I felt as though I was in the jungles of Vietnam right alongside these guys, and halfway through the book, that's just where I wanted to be. The characters are well developed, and the setting is described to perfection, so well in fact, that I almost smelled "nuoc mam"! Many thanks go out to this most terrific author for taking me on a journey I won't ever regret. I can't wait to read the other 3!
