Author Mike Murray has written another great thriller about the world of Special Operations.Blacklight is full of action and has inside information on the secret world anti-terroism.Mr Murray knows of what he writes.I hope he continues with this series because it is the best of its kind.Bravo

I read this book for fun, just because the picture on the front. As you can imagine, I was blown away by the great detail and accuracy of the book. The men using weapons that are still in testing was a great move on Murrays part. If you like any books that start in a web and slowly begin to fit together until you know the full story, Blacklight is for you!

I'm impressed w/ the author's use of description. I've never been in the military and am not familiar with the weapons, training and slang used in most action books. I appreciate Mr. Murray's ability to explain what is going on and who is doing what for a reader, like me, with limited knowledge.

Good book, good use of women on the team and was glad to see Getts and Peach back in action.

The villian was so thoroughly evil that I was surprised when the team did not make sure he was dead prior to exiting the castle.

Perhaps in another book, we'll see Getts learn the true identity of the Rabbi.

This is probably my least favorite of Mike Murray's Navy SEALs series, only because there's a lot of supporting characters, and not enough of Getts and Peach for my taste. A lot of time was spent on the 'bad guy' and the Blacklight team, who I found myself not as interested in. The book is still great entertainment though. Great characters, defeating stereotypes at every turn.

Still, all of Mike Murray's books are entertaining and some of my favorites, even though they're lamentably short. There's a refreshing lack of political motivation and long-winded speeches or cheesy romantic sub-plots.

Like all of his books though, he needs a much better proofreader to help with some of the character mix-ups.

I am not really into "military" books, but this one was fantastic. I loved the development of each of the characters and the situations they came across. I have now since read the entire series and I am hooked. I am waiting for a new one and I hope this time there is a female hero!!

If you have ever read Marcenkos high on myself, I'm just marvelous stories, this series is a breath of fresh air. With a genuine talent for writting dialog, Murray tells a great story where we actually like the characters with the flow not slowing as gun barrels cool. Action sequences add to the readers enjoyment, but the story is what keeps the book in your hands.
