Publisher Description
Tom Clancy meets The X-Files in Weston Ochse's SEAL Team 666 series starring the Navy SEALs who handle supernatural threats
When a Senator's daughter is kidnapped by a mysterious group with ties to the supernatural . . . it's clearly a job for SEAL TEAM 666. As Triple Six gets involved, they discover links to the Zeta Cartel, a newly discovered temple beneath Mexico City, and a group known as Followers of the Flayed One. International politics, cross-border narco-terrorism, and an insidious force operating inside the team soon threaten to derail the mission. Forced to partner with several militant ex-patriots and a former Zeta hitman-turned-skinwalker, Triple Six is the world's only hope to stop the return of the Age of Blood.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ochse's supernatural Special Forces unit (introduced in SEAL Team 666) is deployed to find the daughter of a senator gone missing off the coast of Cabo San Lucas. The kidnapping turns out to be linked to the Zeta drug cartel, which plans to "reinstate old Aztec rule" with the help of a cult of "neo-pagan Aztec worshippers," and the team's rescue mission leads its members to a bloody showdown at an ancient temple buried under Mexico City. Characters are developed in broad strokes while military gear is described in plot-stalling detail, but those who enjoyed Ochse's first book will find more of the same to please them here. However, the basic premise of the series which portrays the non-American villains as monsters or allies of monsters will be very difficult for many readers to choke down.
Customer Reviews
Age of Blood
This is the 2nd book and much better then the 1st as I know most of the termology used. I like this book and would recommend to others.
2nd book but not better
Enjoyed reading the first one, but this one was like it was written by a totally different author.
The flow of action seemed interruptive and stucatoed. The abit-too-often superfluous explanations and descriptions distracted and it felt almost tiresome to read at times.
Potentially though, the story line was interesting and I hope the next installment buoys the reader up more consistently.
