"Navy SEALs never seem to get a vacation even in Vegas"

Thriller Military
Chief Warrant Officer Thomas Crocker, the leader of Black Cell
is in Las Vegas with some friends. Crocker has just met a girl
his friends hope will help him get past his ex and
divorce, then he sees a couple of guys get into a scuffle
at the pool. After chasing them he finds that they are
claiming to be Chinese diplomats. The so-called diplomats are
locked up in their rooms as the SEALs wait for them to exit
when suddenly the power in the town goes out and they are able
to escape. During the same time a scientist with a top secret clearance
is kidnapped and taken to North Korea. Now Cocker and his team
must find and save the scientist before North Korea can use
his knowledge for their terrible means. SEAL TEAM SIX: HUNT THE DRAGON is a high octane, action filled
story that follows the Chief Warrant Officer and his team
around the world. Action packed stories are my favorite, but
it felt like the authors used every Navy Seal cliche in the
first chapter. I have to admit I was a little shocked to see
one of the authors was actually a Navy SEAL. So that leads me
to believe that all the cliches may be based in some truth. When you get past those you will find a man who will do
whatever he has to do to protect his country and those around
him. SEAL TEAM SIX: HUNT THE DRAGON is for action adventure
lovers who want a little insight into the male ego and thought
process. Don Mann and Ralph Pezzullo seem to be having fun
with their character and you can expect more books from these
two guys.
SUMMARY
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.
