Seal Team 666 by Weston Ochse
3.0
I picked this book up because Goodreads kept saying that "People who like the Joe Ledger Series also like this. I am feeling much "Ledger Withdrawals" at the moment and so in desperation decided to give this one a go.
Ok, it is Military fiction with a supernatural twist, but to be honest that is where the similarities end. Seal Team 666 fights actual demons whereas the DMS fights mad scientist. There is no doubt that Joe Ledger is the DMS in that series. every story is told in Joe's voice and from Joe's perspective. Although Jack Walker is supposed to be the main character, the perspectives jump from character to character. Neither is bad, but it definitely changes the tone of the book.
Plus, there are some very violent deaths in this book which are described in a cold manner. There is also a missing sense of smart-alecky tone to Seal Team 666.
Is this book a replacement for Joe Ledger? No it is not, but I will give it a shake and try another book in the series.
