About the Author:
Don Mann (CWO3, USN) is the author of the forthcoming Inside SEAL Team Six and has for the last thirty years been associated with the Navy SEALS as a platoon member, assault team member, boat crew leader, or advanced training officer; and more recently program director preparing civilians to go to BUD/s (SEAL Training). Up until 1998 he was on active duty with SEAL Team 6. Since his retirement, he has deployed to the Middle East on numerous occasions in support of the war on terror. Many of the active duty members of SEAL Team 6 are the same guys he taught how to shoot and conduct ship and aircraft takedowns, and trained in urban, arctic, desert, river, and jungle warfare, as well as Close Quarters Battle and Military Operations in Urban Terrain. He has suffered two broken backs, two pulmonary embolisms, and multiple other broken bones, in training or service. He has twice survived being captured during operations.
Co-writer Ralph Pezzullo is a New York Times bestselling author and award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and journalist. His books include Jawbreaker (with CIA operative Gary Berntsen).
From Booklist:
Mann, 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 it’s like to be a member of the SEALs, from danger to camaraderie. --Jeff Ayers
