From BooklistMann, along with coauthor Pezzullo, brings back his SEAL team leader Thomas Crocker in this follow-up to Seal Team Six: Hunt the Wolf. A cargo ship is hijacked by pirates, and Crocker and his fellow SEALs are sent to rescue the crew. They discover that the majority of the men have been killed, but the captain has survived. An investigation reveals that the cargo the ship was carrying could be used to fuel a nuclear weapon. Add a threat of WMDs from Libya, and you have a SEAL team in over their heads. The action is nonstop, and Mann does a fine job giving readers the feel of what its like to be a member of the SEALs, from danger to camaraderie. --Jeff Ayers "Reads like a Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child -- fast and clean.

SEAL Team Six: Hunt the ScorpionBy RSThis second book is a big improvement over Hunt the Wolf, which didn't hold my interest. In this book, Crocker's SEAL Team Six unit is back and assigned to Libya to secure Ghaddafi's WMD facilities. Character development is completely non-existent, with rather generic characters just serving their purpose. But the story is fast paced, believable, with realistic situations and action and good descriptions, and flows really well. This is shaping up to be a really a solid, readable series and a good replacement for Richard Marcinko's Rogue Warrior books.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
