Lots of action and subplots, April 24, 2005
This review is from: Seal Team Seven 09: War Cry (Paperback)
When N. Korea invades the South, the SEALs are sent to push them back. This book has a lot of action with the men going on several jobs for Stroh. It also shows a deep sense of character as the subplot develops between Miguel and Joe Douglas. These subplots are what gives each book a new feel. Very good on the part of the writer.

Not what I expected, March 24, 2002
This review is from: Seal Team Seven 09: War Cry (Paperback)
Reading the back cover synopsis made me think this novel would be great. The North Koreans invading South Korea, and taking the Vice President hostage. Well, the SEALs in this novel take on several missions into enemy territory. The first mission is to rescue the VP, but it only takes a chapter or two to do that. Too easy. Felt this novel could have been better written and better plotted.
Well, the VP is safely back in Seoul. In the meantime, Don Stroh and the CIA send the SEALs on various missions into North Korea. One to destroy a remote radio transmission station that the U.S. and S. Korea do not want the NK's to get their hands on. Another mission has them rescuing a general and several CO's in NK territory.
But the main mission eventually to try and end this mini war between North and South is to take out the 3 North Korean generals managing the political/military scene of their country.
One fascinating part of the book, was a conflict between Seals, Fernandez and Douglas. They get into fistacuffs a couple of times, and are threatened by j.g. Dewitt that they would be shipped out of the SEALs and to Adak, Alaska. Well, it gets interesting toward the end of the novel, when the SEALs are in a firefight with some North Korean patrol and Douglas is ordered to cover Fernandez. Well he doesn't. Fernandez is seriously wounded. Also, a couple of other SEALs get grounded by wounds, and you may not see two or three of them in the next novel. At least, I'm not expecting too. Hope the author brings back Magic Brown.
