Seals: The Warrior Breed #1

by H. Jay Riker

For Glory,
For Victory,
For Love of Country
In a time of savage conflict and global chaos, a new breed of fighting men answers their nation's call with pride and courage -- the Navy's Underwater Demolition Team, commandoes superbly trained to meet the most unique and deadly challenges of warfare. Honed and hardened in the flames of combat, they engage a fearsome enemy both above and below the waves. Their exploits are the stuff of World War Two legend, giving rise to a proud legacy that endures for generations -- born of iron determination shared by each and every man to triumph against all odds . . . or die with honor.

This was an interesting book. It reminded me a lot of the works of W.E.B. Griffin, only with more detail on battles. Lots of details and interesting characters. I'm a sucker for good WW II fiction anyway and the story of the founding of the Navy SEALs filled the bill. I will probably continue with the series.

Excellent start to this series. Engaging characters!

My father was one of the Scouts and Raiders, the UDT's that were the early beginnings of what we call the Seals. Little has been written about what the Scouts and Raiders did in WWII. This book is one of a series that is a fictionalized account of the UDTS' s. Having said that many of the events in the book are reminders of stories my father told me.
