Seal Team Seven: Firestorm (The Explosive New Novel in the Special Warfare Series)

Rating:
Summary: POOR EDITING BUT ACTION PACKED
Review: Firestorm seemed to have more editing errors than any of Keith's prior novels. Almost every chapter had "the" instead of "they". But if you can look past the poor grammar the story is full of covert action with our Seals taking some hits from the Chinese. Thriller to the end.

Summary: Douglas is a Dick Marcinko wanna-be, give Seals a bad Name.
Review: I could not believe what a trash this book was. From the start it looked like he was rewriting a Rougue Warrior book but making it more unrealistic. Every few sentences we heard a description of the same weapons over and over again. The scenario was so bad that it made me laugh. I'll never read one of his books again.

Summary: action galore
Review: I get bored easily with books filled with characters that do nothing but sit around and talk and talk half of the book. This is not one of Keith Douglass's problems. His characters do not do any more talking then necessary to keep the plot moving along. His novels will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next and if the team will manage to bring off the planed operation. His writing is a pure delight with the correct mix of dialog and narration, not too little and not too much. Keith Douglass will keep you up at night wondering how in the world the team will manage the stunt. You will feel as if you are going into battle with Murdock and the rest of the gang. My only beef here is that Douglass gets a bit too caught up with the titles - Gunner's Mate Second Class - cut out the titles and just go with the man's name.

Summary: I think its one of the best books Ive ever read
Review: I think it described the guns great and the detail in the book is awesome. I learned alot about NAVY SEALS from this book and did research on it and everything in there is true. The combat scenes were better than in any war book Ive read.

Summary: What a disappointment!
Review: In what has to be one of the most far-fetched plots of any recent novel I have read, a platoon of SEALs single-handedly averts the invasion of Taiwan. Even suspending disbelief for the purposes of a quick read, I was disappointed in the poor writing. One of the most annoying things was LT Murdock explaining to his men the very weapons they would use: "This is a Macmillan sniper rifle. It's .50 caliber and fires five rounds from a magazine. Heavy, yes, but..." They've never seen the weapons before? It would have been better to simply identify the weapon and then have it described in text rather than dialogue. Also annoying was the frequent referral to fragmentation grenades as "fraggers." Give me a break. This was like a comic book without pictures. In fact, it is such a disappointment that I even wonder if Douglass really wrote it as the other books in the series are rather good. Is it possible that there is a stable of writers out there cranking this series out under the Douglass pen-name? Anyway, if you were thinking of reading this series, please don't judge all the books by this very poor one.

Summary: One of the Best
Review: The Seals are back in action in China. A Seal mission is never simple and this book accurately explains the missions of Seald, what they do, and the risks they take. Explosive and a delight to read one of Mr. Douglass's best. One of the best special warfare books ever written.

Summary: This book is so good that some parts make your bones shake.
Review: This book is about three real life adventures: A Raging Firestorm, A Plane Crash, A Rescue from an Underground Mine. I think that the underground mine story is the best story because it is the most exciting. I was a little bit scared when I was reading it because I didn't know what was going to happen. I am nine years old and I think that this book would appeal to boys and girls ages 8 and up who like adventure.

Rating:
Summary: ONE INTENSE BOOK
Review: This is a book that starts right of with a big bang and is action-packed all the way. If you like reading action-packed books thats fiction but seems reel, this is the book for you.
