This is the first book I have read by Mike Murray, but if the rest of his books are as good as this one then He has a best selling series. I rank him up there with the best, his storyline is great and believable the plot is good his characters are alive and you could follow them into another story. Most Seal series are too phony, the people are plastic types all from the same mold, too perfect never really seem to be alive. Mike has done a terrific job of building each of his characters. I look forward to the next one.

Mr Murray has a wonderful series on his hands, my only complaint is they haven't they made at least one movie about Getts and Peach yet? With so many bad films, these seem a natural winner because of the great characters Murray builds for us. I read the stories almost non-stop when I started them. At first glance the cover made me think these books were just excuses to fire guns and blow things up, what a plesant surprise to find he can really write great stories and facinate us with tech warfare as well. Move over Clancey, you've had your turn.

This is probably my favorite of Mike Murray's Navy SEALs series. There's a lot more action than the "Blacklight" book, more SEALs, a very tense climax, and a nice twist at the end.

The only kind of downside I had with it was the romantic subplot with the Princess. Granted, it was a very very small portion of the book and it wasn't sappy or melodramatic like a romance novel or anything, but it seemed just a little out of place.

The other bad part about it is that it's the last of the series. :( I really really wish Mike Murray would write more books featuring Getts and/or Peach. Granted, the guys are getting a little older now, but go back in time to some of their earlier missions, I don't care!

First let me say, I admire Mr. Murray's books.

I have only one nitpick. With food poioning, the body tries expelling the contents of the stomach and intestines from both ends. Therefore, Peach would have been cleaning more than the Princess' hands and face.

Otherwise, I was kept guessing as to who the "insider" was and how he/she would be dealt with.

I'm not ready to have Peach enter retirement. It would be interesting to have Peach and the Princess' relationship need the help of the team of Peach and Getts.
