![]() ![]() ![]() He has a military background and a supernatural one. The story of Jack Walker who is drafted in to SEAL team 666 a month before his graduation was clearly on the team's radar. As much detail is given to the tactical stuff, the history and mythology of the monsters is always there and explored with care. That realism is what makes this book stand out.Īnybody can write monsters and mythology but only one person can combine it all. Ochse could be accused of a little to much focus on the military nitty-gritty but fuck that. If you like military science fiction or horror you can't go wrong. Are you going to go with it or not? This is a novel about a unit of Navy SEALS who travel the world taking care of supernatural threats, so come on you have suspend disbelief a bit. ![]() This title either works for you or it, not unlike the guitar player in Mad Max Fury Road. I admit the first time I saw this title I rolled my eyes a little. I believe some of this series was written in country but I could be wrong about that. The author himself a vet and a retired military intelligence officer, who also is a horror writer was one person probably on planet earth who could write this novel and that is enough to get my interest. I wanted to read this book first even though I had his first Bram Stoker award winning novel Scarecrow Gods on the TBR. I was over due to read a book by Weston Ochse who I have met briefly twice (World Horror in Portland) and the Midian Unmade signing here in San Diego.
