Chief Warrant Officer Thomas Crocker and his SEAL Team
known as Black Cell is sent into the Ukraine for a quick
snatch and grab. But nothing is ever simple when Thomas
Crocker is involved. The mission goes as planned, but
days later, he and his buddy Akil are attacked in Las
Vegas, where he's meeting with Secret Service members
about the counterfeit hundred dollar bills he brought
back from the Ukraine. There seems to be an international
conspiracy surrounding the money, involving the Iranians
and North Koreans.
As Crocker is drowning in meetings and planning sessions
for the US military and CIA's next move, James Dawkins is
being kidnapped on the other side of the world from his
hotel in Switzerland and transported to North Korea. Mr.
Dawkins is an aerospace engineer from DC, with top secret
clearance, and the puzzle piece that the North Koreans
need to get a nuclear missile in the air. After spending
several months in an underground facility, James manages
to get a message out through another kidnapped scientist
with his home phone number. His wife calls the CIA and
things begin the heat up, as Black Cell is called into
action again to head to North Korea.
This is my sixth mission with Thomas Crocker, and what a
riveting thriller it is! Don Mann and Ralph Pezzullo have
teamed up again to bring us another dynamic story filled
with cyberespionage and international conspiracy in SEAL
TEAM SIX: HUNT THE DRAGON. You'll make a whirlwind trip
from the Ukraine to DC, then from Las Vegas to the
Pacific coastal waters off the coast of China and on to
North Korean soil. Of course Crocker and his team of
SEALs are all strong characters, both physically and
mentally. They are surrounded by an interesting mix of
supporting characters who each lend a different dimension
to moving the plot along. There's lots of firepower and
gadgetry march across the pages, as well as an alphabet
soup of intelligent agencies. Each of Mann and Pezzullo's
SEAL Team Six books packs a punch. Dive into any of them
for a great adventure!
The North Korean government is days away from realizing
its nuclear ambitions and only the heroes of SEAL Team Six
can stop it.
Chief Warrant Officer Thomas Crocker of SEAL Team Six's
Black Cell is in Las Vegas after conducting a training
exercise in the desert with new members of the team.
Lounging by the pool at Caesar's Palace, he witnesses an
argument between hotel security guards and three Asian men
in corporate attire that quickly turns physical. Giving
chase, he soon corners the businessmen, who claim to be
Chinese diplomats under the protection of diplomatic
immunity. Except the men don't respond when the head of
hotel security--Crocker's old friend--addresses them in
Mandarin.
That night, someone hacks into the Nevada Power Company
system, and Las Vegas goes completely dark. The businessmen
set their hotel suite on fire and escape amidst the chaos.
At the same time, James Dawkins, a brilliant scientist with
top-secret clearance, disappears from a conference in Geneva
and wakes to find himself in a North Korean bunker with
instructions to solve an engineering problem that will
enable North Korea to launch nuclear attacks on its enemies
worldwide.
Chasing a trail of evidence that takes them from U.S. soil
to international waters to China and North Korea, Crocker
and the rest of SEAL Team Six find themselves in the middle
of an international plot with dangerous geopolitical
ramifications. The North Korean government will stop at
nothing to realize its long-held nuclear ambitions--but
it'll have to get through some of America's most highly
trained warriors first.
