Reign of Evil: A SEAL Team 666 Novel
Weston Ochse. St. Martin's/Dunne, $26.99 (336p) ISBN 978-1-25005-600-9
If you can buy into the premise that monsters such as demons, warlocks, and golems are out to destroy modern civilization, you'll have a rollicking good time with Ochse's action-packed third SEAL Team 666 novel (after 2013's Age of Blood). SEAL Jack Walker and the Triple Six team join their British monster-hunting counterparts, Section 9, after Walker's girlfriend, Jen, meets a horrific end at Stonehenge, brutally murdered by King Arthur riding a giant white stag. The military guys are aided in their battles by a sexy witch, Sassy Moore, whose magic wand proves more useful against the deadly wraiths than the usual SA80s, Glock 17s, HK416s, and Sig Sauers. Together and separately, the Brits and Yanks battle various supernatural creatures and their human minions up and down the British Isles, taking terrible casualties and inflicting serious damage before a series of exciting battles decides the outcome. That Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is attached to star in the forthcoming MGM SEAL Team 666 movie can only win the series new fans. Agent: Robert Fleck, Professional Media Services. (Oct.)
