Summary: Underwheming
Comment: This is the first book I read in the "Seal Team Seven" series. I am a big fan of Douglass' work, though. I read the first installment in the "Carrier" series in which an American spy ship is captured off the coast of North Korea. Needless to say, I was hooked. Sadly, "Battleground" is nowhere near as good as Carrier. The action scenes are boring and become quickly repetitive. None of the characters are particularly interesting either. I found the action derivative of the standard action movie cliche in which the bad guys can't shoot to save their lives but the good guys score a hit every time. I was sorely dissapointed in the book and am glad I got out of the library for free.
Rating: 4
Summary: Intense
Comment: These Seal Team books are great! While I generally prefer more mainstream war novels like "The Triumph and the Glory" to these more tighly focused novels, Douglass is so good at what he does that I never miss one of his books.
Rating: 2
Summary: Exciting, but TERRIBLY EDITED.
Comment: I have read 5 of Mr. Douglass's Seal Team Seven books and this one had the worst editing job that I've ever encountered. The Seals go through their motions and do in the bad guys, but the editor kills the story. For example, Magic Brown the Seals sniper carries an M-88 McMillan sniper rifle on page 223 that becomes an M-93 fifty on page 230 and then he has a H&K PSG1 sniper rifle on page 234. If you like action and can over look all of the errors that a 10-year-old could have caught, then go ahead and read it. But if you want some good military action series, read Bob Mayer's Riley series or Richard Marcinko's Rogue Warrior Series. These guys have actually been there and done that (BTDT) stuff for REAL. Mr. Douglass, the stories have potential but, get a new Editor or a new Publisher. The lack of editing in this book was unforgivable.
