Product Description
Book Description
Their skills were honed in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Now the unwinnable, decade-long conflict is over. Vietnam is no more than a recent memory of blood and thunder. But for the U.S. Navy SEALs -- the nation's most able warriors -- a new war is brewing on the far side of the Earth.
Returning home as strangers in a strange land, the men of SEAL Teams One and Two must adjust to life in peacetime. The Navy, however, has plans for its legendary fighting force -- a bold new experiment that will replace submarine-borne nuclear missiles with alternate lethal weapons: SEAL swimmers, armed and ready to be launched at a moment's notice on daring land-based sorties. And before their training is completed, they will be tested as never before -- on a daring rescue in a desert land that will propel them into a volatile Middle Eastern powderkeg that's primed to explode.
Synopsis
The U.S. Navy SEALs are about to face the ultimate test when they mount a daring rescue in the midst of a dangerous Middle Eastern flareup. Original.

In Harm's Way (#7),
By 007Magnum (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Harm's Way (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read all of the previous Navy Seals books by Riker. This one was not nearly as "gripping" as the others. It seemed to take too long to develope. Not bad to read, but it was too easy to put the book down as I read the story.

In Harm's Way,
By
This review is from: In Harm's Way (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read all of Mr. Riker's books on Navy Seals and enjoyed each quite a bit. They struck me as being well-researched, as well as a rip-snorting read. This one is no exception as he continues the development of the characters Twidge Halstead and Doc Tangretti. I especially liked the way he dealt with the emotions they felt when they returned from Nam to come face-to-face with the anti-war movement. As a former serviceman, I almost felt that aspect as too close to home. Even though I noticed some errors in the way he had submarines do business in the last of In Harm's Way it was only a minor flaw in an otherwise excellent read.
