He is good, one of the better of his year but not the best. You would have expected that he would be the best of his year. Jack is however still in his training days in becoming a SEAL. It is up to Jack Walker to fill in the last spot. So from the prologue there was already a direct setting to the book, dark and grim and now SEAL Team 666 is one man down. Actually by this sort of normal take on placing demons in a world that we currently live in and having an elite squad of army men, just 5 men and a canine, battling them gives it just an edge of realism to it. It is just by pure perseverance, being the best of the best, a lot of bullets and a bottle of holy water. So I was curious on how this team excelled in battling the supernatural. Yes you know that demons can be present but when you look at the gear that each team member is carrying it is mostly standard army gear, so no high-tech gadgets. This first encounter was written in a way that you actually had know clue of what to expect when you were reading. In the prologue you are already introduced with the supernatural aspect hidden in this book, demons.
Luckily this was only shown in the prologue and after it the story took a serious dive into another direction, producing a great and thrilling read. Another part that felt out of place was the addressing of each team member, they were simply referred to as SEAL, not a name, either codename or the last name, and it felt a bit confusing to get your head around which “SEAL” referred to which team member exactly. There was a heavy emphasis in describing as many of the weapons and gear that the SEAL’s were carrying but it was just a bit too much. Yes it was crucial to the whole story but the way it was written just felt out of place. It did feel that the prologue felt out of place with the whole book. The book start of with seeing SEAL Team 666 in action, but here is just my first remark. But with this background in writing horror, combined with the short glimpse of the synopsis of the book, demons and the likes, my hopes were up for a dark, dark ride. Weston Ochse is a Bram Stoker Award winner for best first book - not SEAL Team 666 but for Scarecrow Gods in 2005. It is not often that you come a book description like SEAL Team 666, although I do think that there are more and more authors trying to break into a new road with using the army in fantasy books.
And when they discover that the threat isn’t just directed against the US, Walker finds himself at the centre of a supernatural conflict with the entire world at stake. One man down after they lost a sniper on a certain mission in Abbottabad, Pakistan, NAVY SEAL Cadet Jack Walker is chosen to join the US’s only supernatural unconventional-warfare special-mission unit - SEAL Team 666.īattling demons, possessed humans and mass murdering cults and evil in its most dark an ancient form, SEAL Team 666 has their work cut out for them.
