WINNER OF THE "FICTION - ADVENTURE OR DRAMA" AWARD FROM THE NEW MEXICO-ARIZONA BOOK AWARDS
Weston Ochse's SEAL Team 666 follows Cadet Jack Walker. Halfway through SEAL training, he's still green but showing incredible promise when he's whisked away to join four SEALs—and their dog—for a special ops mission. Walker soon finds himself in a whirlwind of otherworldly creatures and events as he finds out the true nature of this "special ops" team: SEAL Team 666. Battling demons, possessed humans, mass-murdering cults, and evil in its most dark and primeval form, SEAL Team 666 has their work cut out for them. And it's not long before they realize that the threat isn't just directed against the U.S.—an ancient and deadly cult has bigger plans, and Walker is at the center of a supernatural conflict with the entire world at stake.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sniper Jack Walker is plucked straight from Navy SEAL training and assigned to the United States's only "supernatural unconventional-warfare special-mission unit" otherwise known as SEAL Team 666. He's been selected because of a childhood close encounter with a demon, and his new line of work puts him and his team up against an ancient Chinese demon stirring up trouble in modern-day Myanmar. Ochse's background in military intelligence packs this hybrid of military SF and horror (already optioned by MGM) with insider detail and verisimilitude, but the characters and plotting are largely rote and lacking in depth, and Ochse's literal demonization of Chinese and Arab villains especially in the prologue, which depicts an Osama bin Laden like character as a vicious supernatural creature is a discomfiting and jingoistic throwback to pulp-era Orientalist horror.
