During the War in Iraq, Lieutenant Commander Lester Donovan of the U.S. Navy SEALs must capture a known terrorist near the border of Syria. It's a dangerous mission. Land mines and hostile combatants blanket the area, yet Donovan is undeterred. But when the mission goes awry, this gung-ho commander must learn to keep his cool if he's going to keep his men safe.
"If you are trying to get books to picky, middle school boy readers, just buy this series. . . .On the second day of school, I had an 8th grader make it to the library against all odds (I had scheduled 7th graders that day, and the study hall was so chaotic that they weren't letting students go anywhere) JUST SO he could check out these books because I had seen him at the public library and mentioned that I was ordering them. This is a student who does not read much, but I let him check out all four (our limit is three), because he was afraid he would finish them before he could get back to the library."
