SEAL Team 666

review 1: Evil exists... I once asked the Director of the Exorcist what the Catholic Church thought of his film. He said they loved it. Why, because it made the point that evil exists. Weston Ochse acknowledges that evil does indeed exist, and that it needs to be put down with shotguns, sniper rifles and guts. Lots of guts. This Military SciFi Thriller hands out action like cooked off grenades, tense and urgent. The writing is top notch and the accuracy regarding tactics, weapons and the military is eyes on target. Weston Ochse departs from the known, ups the ante from medieval to Roman, then goes upriver into that supernatural Coppola was afraid of in Apocalypse Now. It's all that... And more. I tore through this book and had what every reader wants, a well told tale that d... moreidn't flinch. This should easily be a movie, but you'd really want a TV series done AMC-style because this is something you want to explore. I highly recommend this book for an unexpected adventure into the heart of darkness. I had a great time.
review 2: Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for First Novel in 2005 for Scarecrow Gods, Ochse’s abilities are again on show here. Stories about super-secret weapons in the U.S. arsenal are fun to write and to read about; just like Christopher Farnsworth’s The President’s Vampire that uses a vampire as the government’s secret weapon, this one concerns another unusual top secret weapon: a SEAL team that fights the supernatural. The character development is outstanding and the plot is deliciously intricate, so it’s no surprise that this one has already been optioned for the film rights. Moviefone (tentatively) says Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson will star in it, probably as the team leader. SEAL Team 666 has been in existence since before the U.S. was a country and they have a long history of being in the middle of the action fighting the weird and unusual. This story starts out with suits of sewn-together, human-flesh tattoos that have been traced to the Far East. The team has lost a member and gets a new guy that has a secret in his past that may end up being helpful if he can stay alive long enough to get past New Guy (FNG – you figure it out!) status. Peppered with military acronyms and language that gives the story a lot of realism, Ochse’s background in military intelligence can also be felt in the camaraderie that the team members feel for each other. The one flaw is that the action is nonstop and anyone who’s been in the military knows that action is interspersed with periods of inaction, but who wants to read about SEALs sitting around waiting for action? – nobody! The teaser that you get on the last two pages was enough to make me search out the sequel, so I’m also ready for a film version and maybe even a graphic novel. There is no sex, but lots of violence - but not lots of swearing, so this would be appropriate for all grownups or older teens who like military fiction, high-adventure or the supernatural. less
