There are very few books about Special Forces or SEALS or other high performance military outfits where one character is about a decade older than the other that can top this, the first of two in a short series that blew me totally away--as did the cover, wow!.This one is about how near-retirement age SEAL Chief David Flint (late 30's) pours verbal abuse and physical stress on top of trainee Josh Walker (mid-20's) because he feel this man is going to be something special--which becomes true in all respects, especially when their off-duty attraction heats up.  There is tremendous conflict, self-doubt and angst in the romance, but sturdy, forceful and heroic action when sent into battle.The highlight in the action is an extraordinarily detailed raid on a North Korean prison where the SEALs attempt to free an "asset," and where Flint is so badly injured that he is forced to retire. The way Witt provides the details of the raid is among the most exciting I have read in books like this, and the way David and Josh come together through the resulting tormenting recovery period will pull your heart strings and warm your soul, and more than encourage you to move on to the sequel.
