Martell's piece is a good way to kill a few hours on a flight between Vienna and New-York. The lay-out makes you believe you are actualy reading SEAL mission real paperwork. The different missions covered, which lead to the final assignment, are well done, and for the average, weapon-unfamiliar person, rather precise. Not totally accurate, but precise.

The drawback comes when by mid-book, the reader has more or less lost track of what the book is all about. Besides, all goes well for these SEAL guys. I doubt real missions go as smoothly as the book's ones; This special ops unit is definitely good at planning, but THAT good makes it slightly too..."Hollywoodesque"!

Pictures instead of drawings might have helped as well.

Overall, a good reading for anyone having interest in this military, counterterrorism warfare business, and definitely a must-read for the Special Op Wannabee.

Does not grant a second burst for everybody else.

This book and series has real potential. I liked the missions and the layout of the book. The briefing and maps included were good. The part where it fell through was the weapons and gear. The M4/M203 were called M16 and the SEALs used Uzi's instead of the standard MP5N for CQB work. This took from the realism of the book. If the author could fix this and add more detail and research to the weapons and gear (LBVs, radios, SATCOM, and other bits of gear), then this will be a great series. Looking forward to the next one.

This book was really good. It focuses on several missions instead of one. The 4 main characters are easy to like and root for. Plenty of action. Looks like it will be a good new series in the Navy Seals area.

I FOUND THIS BOOK EASY TO READ LIKE MOST OF THE BOOKS I HAVE READ ABOUT SEALS AND FOUND IT INTERESTING AS WELL. AS A YOUNG SEAL ENTHUSIAST I FIND IT INTERESTING TO READ ABOUT OUR COUNTRY'S GREATEST FIGHTERS DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST. BECAUSE I HAVE READ FACTUAL BOOKS ABOUT THE SEALS, I FOUND THIS TO BE BASED ON FACT AND A GOOD READ FOR ANY SEAL ENTHUSIAST.

This Seal novel would be better if the writer had a good plot, missions are good but lack realism, team goes in and then out very little action and the spook is just not real. suggest writer add more story and action for both sides. Seals are not perfect all the time, even if they think they are. these missions are to perfect.

Martell wrote this book astonishingly well. The only thing i found bad was that u got lost. It needed more backroun on the SEALs and i did find sum wrongfull facts.But all in all it was good

My ninth grade brother really enjoyed it. But as for me I thought that the SEALs were much too perfect and that bad guys were much too stupid. Don't get me wrong, sometimes it's fun to read a "easy reading" book and that's exactly what it is. If the plot and the characters were more developed this might be good. I still gave it three stars just because the last 20 pages are pretty good and one of the characters is named after a friend of mine who is a SEAL.
