Seal Team Seven 08 Pacific Siege

Following World War II, Japan returns one of its northern islands to Russia; now Japanese General Nishikawa decides he wants it back. After he and his troops capture the Russian military post on the island and threaten to kill the Russian garrison, Japan is left helpless. They don’t want to open fire on their own troops, but they have to do something before Russia retaliates. And Russia is not happy. Lieutenant Murdock and his SEALs are called in to restore justice. But between freeing Russian hostages, keeping the General from going ballistic, and making sure not to step on the wrong toes, the SEALs find themselves stuck waist-deep in hell—and high water.

Lt. Cmdr. Blake Murdock is none too happy when he gets promoted to a position in the pentagon, organizing a new Navy and Marine quick-strike force. Still, orders are orders, and he is forced to leave his SEAL Team comrades behind. But when the First Lady is attacked and abducted by terrorists in the diamond-rich country of North Namibia, the President knows only one man tough enough to handle the situation. Now, Murdock and his SEALs are going to pay the kidnappers a different kind of ransom—in blood.

Lieutenant Blake Murdock and his seven-man unit from SEAL Team Seven's Red Squad embark on a perilous mission to recover a Japanese freighter carrying nuclear fuel from the renegade Iranian fanatics that hijacked it.
