SEAL Team Bravo

Black Ops - Spear of ISIS

Beschreibung

Iraq, a country sliding into chaos and anarchy. A country under siege from an army of bloodthirsty insurgents. These warriors of Islam, fighting to create the Islamic Caliphate, have pledged to soak the desert sands with the blood of the infidels. They are ISIS. When ISIS overruns a small town in Iraq, their fighters kidnap the local schoolchildren. They also take the teacher, a young volunteer who happens to be the daughter of the US Secretary of Defense. The consequences for American interests are unthinkable. Yet the perverted politics of the region rule out a full-scale military response. There has to be another solution. SEAL Team Bravo, already on station at Incirlik Airbase in Turkey, gets the short straw and they parachute into the target area. Yet ISIS is no ordinary foe. Outgunned, outmanned and even outfought, the operation becomes unwinnable, at least, for normal men. Yet these men are not normal. They are SEALs. Bravo is besieged on all sides, even from within. Fighting almost to the last bullet, to the last drop of blood, they press on to their objective. This is a thrilling and bloody story of US Navy SEALs, trained to go to any lengths to complete their mission. Seal Team Bravo Black Ops: Spear of ISIS is by the bestselling author of many other Spec Ops stories. These include the popular SEAL Team Bravo titles, the Raider series, as well as other Echo Six titles and the Devil's Guard series.
