review:
'Seal Team Six: Hunt The Scorpion' is the second book in the series, and it seems to suffer a bit from second book syndrome. Whether it founders from lack of new character development, or from the fact that it's setting up further storyline down the road, I'm not sure.
Tom Crocker and team find themselves in the thick of it again. After rescuing a cargo ship from suspicious pirates, they set off to run a crazy endurance race in the Sahara. When they get called off that and sent to Libya, things really heat up. An unstable country, a team of UN inspectors looking for nuclear grade weapons material and a kidnapping that hits a little close to one team member are all what happens over a rapid-fire series of pages.
But it's all kind of a mess when it's done and I kind of liked the coherence of the first book better. Plus, this one ends with a set up for the next book, so maybe that's a promise that things will get back to form. At least the form I preferred anyway. Still, it was a fast read, and had plenty of action. I'll definitely read the third one.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Mulholland Books, Little, Brown and Company and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
