"It's been ten years since a mysterious incident in the South China Sea annihilated a US Navy destroyer and its Navy SEAL team. Only one man survived this horrific tragedy. Now, as more of these strange, supernatural events are happening around the world--with deadly consequences--the US Navy calls on sole survivor Harold 'Hawk' Masters to put a stop to the evil forces behind these crimes. Masters reluctantly returns, dispatched to lead an elite team of soldiers like him--all survivors of the terrifying, evil deeds of 'the other side.' As these frightening events escalate at an alarming rate, SEAL Team 13 is put to the test, battling malevolent undead creatures that threaten the security of the nation--and the world. But not everyone supports the government's new interest in facing off against the unnatural forces that threaten the welfare of its citizens. Could Hawk Masters' secret military force also be forced to fight shadowy opponents from within?"--from publisher's description.

By the 3rd page, I was already hooked!!!!
There are books that sinks in its fangs, before you even finish the 5th page (Richard A. Knaak's “Legend of Huma”, The Belgariad Series by David Eddings, The Event books by David Lyn Golemon, you know what I mean.....), this would have been a one to two day read, if I was not so distracted(life and reality...........even with a good book, it just intrudes)!!!!
Military personnel are usually good protagonist to any situation(or almost all the books I read), the discipline, their intelligence, the “spunk”, I mean if something happens before a soldier, policeman, surprise would register in their actions but the gears on their head would start spinning, then there are the “Special Forces”, the cremé de la cremé, it takes a lot to frighten a SEAL, Rangers and etc. Such was the case with this story, from the start to the end, action, action, action, who needs character development.......if everywhere you go, every corner you turn, results in a dead end!!!
Some of the reviewers called this a machisimo book, well if every character act and think like this, it makes the story flow smoothly, why not, every once in awhile, we need books like this, but this book has a deeper story(what is the veil??? Yes it separates the real from the unreal......too vague, the community.........uhhhhhh a group of individuals who passed through the veil, and changed their thinking), man-ness aside, there are things hinted in the book, that I know is not just macho-ness. Ohhhhhh you should read this universe's version of a vampire!!!!
Short, simple, full of action, always good in a story, place that in the supernatural genre, that is a 5 in my mind. I hope there is a Book 2!!! Hoorah!!!!!!
