Seal Team Six: Hunt the Wolf by Don Mann

This is an action-adventure written by an actual Seal Team 6 member. There's a (so far) four book series starting Thomas Crocker a SEAL Team six team member. This volume takes place all over the mid-east and focuses on terrorism and human trafficking.  The first one I reviewed,  Hunt the Scorpion takes place primarily in Libya.

Thomas Crocker is introduced in this volume.  He seems like a normal guy who mis-spent his youth being a "bad" boy.  Crocker credits the Navy and the Seal program with turning his life around and making him a man.  

This book was hard to read when dealing with the human trafficking.  It is hard to believe that there are people who actually stoop so low.   " Human trafficking represents an estimated $31.6 billion of international trade per annum in 2010.^[9] Human trafficking is thought to be one of the fastest-growing activities of transnational criminal organizations." (Wikipedia)  Crocker deals out the appropriate justice for the despicable thugs who indulge in slavery. 

The terrorism threat could be pulled from any recent newspaper and thus seemed all together too real.

As in  Hunt the Scorpion there is plenty of action for any adrenaline junkie.  Crocker and his men are on a dual search for terrorists and a Norwegian teen. 

I enjoyed the book and recommend it.

No Website that I found but a good Time Magazine Article about Don Mann.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.

Not Authorized by Whit Gentry

We met him in the first Whit Gentry book.  Jake is more of a bit player in this book.  Women are being abducted and Jake finds himself drawn into the seedy human trafficking trade.

Whit paints some pretty despicable villains.   His hero’s are also questionable folks.   Whit writes a story that portrays a current version of rough western justice.  

Old Testament justice is central to the theme of the book.   The bad guys discover that without the rule of law they are susceptible to the same type of violence that they so glibly dish out. 

Two private contractors, ex-military, are the Warriors in a very black op that until you read the book is information that is NOT Authorized!

Whit Gentry is crafting a niche with his gritty fiction.  The nature of his characters reflect the real emotions that normal people would have when faced with horrendous circumstances.   Most people would not have the courage or fortitude to purse the course taken by Jake and Bill Toliver.     

Once again Whit Gentry has evoked emotion with his story telling.  He, again, has made a masterful display of creative ambivalence that characterizes the plot.   Intellectually I find much the protagonists did very wrong but emotionally I can see the needful justification for the greater good. 

I look forward to reading more from Whit Gentry.

I highly recommend the book.
