Summary: Good Historical Military Fiction
Review: After completing Silver Star, I am convinced (Well, Sort of...) that Mr. Riker is really WEB Griffin. My reasons, some strong and some weak, are as follows: 1. Mr. Griffin has written under Psuedonyms before, IE: Badge of Honor, and the books under the Alex Baldwin name.2. Charlie Galloway is a character in a Griffin book, and Joseph Galloway is a character in Silver Star. Coincidence? 3. The book feels similar to Griffins other works. It's seems nebulous, but if you've read Griffins books you would know what I mean. The mix of fictional/non-fictional characters, the rich kid whose a troublemaker but finds his place, the guy with the tough as nails Father who a character has conflicts with. I know it's not much but there are a hundred other coincidences, names, places, sentence structure, the fact that Mr. Riker hasn't written much else(Anything at all) and that, at least in Silver Star, there is no Author biography. It's also a mass market paper back (the dump bin), so it recieved no press etc. I wonder........ Jeff Newman jbn4@yahoo.com

Summary: Silver Star (Seals: The Warrior Breed, Book 1
Review: As a reader with an interest in the Navy SEALS,I have read (and own)this title and each subsequent book. Although I am in no way a historian, I think this book does a good job describing the early beginnings of the SEALS and is a good read if you are into this sort of subject. Personally, I have enjoyed all of this author's books on the subject and as this is the first book in the series it's a good place to start. It reads a little diffrently from Demo Dick Marcinko's Rouge Warrior books, so don't expect the same thing. As noted above, 5 Stars to Mr. Riker!

Summary: Excellent Action - Minor Discrepancy with Details
Review: First of, I would like to say that the Seals, The Warrior Breed series is excellent! Gripping, captivating, truly believable combat scenes, and characters. This series is every bit as good, if not better than all of W.E.B. Griffin's series on the Army and Marine Corp. However, I noticed one error in Purple Heart. In Chapter One, Joe Galloway's Character is identified as a Navy Captain, and in the Epilogue, he is referred to as an Admiral. Both Chapter One and the Epilogue occur on the same day in November 1961. I find it to be a slight oversight on the Editor's part; however, it is mildly annoying. I contacted the author, and the publisher and as yet have not received a response from them.

Summary: Good, but some material weighed my patience
Review: H. Jay Riker starts of his SEALs series with a great book about the start of the legendary program. This book draws you in, and grabs you. The end is so shocking and suspenseful, that I was almost in tears after I put it down! Read this book, it is great.

Summary: A Great Read
Review: I'm connected to the military and find little time to read. A friend loaned me Book One in the warrior Breed series "Silver Star" and I suddenly found time. The most memorable moment was when Tangretti takes the first obstacle at Normandy...ever see the movie "Saving Private Ryan"? Same scenario..I had this "ah-hah; it must be real" when Tangretti says "Sir, you need to move. I have orders to blow this obstacle." If you know any true SEALs that haven't already read the series and love it; it makes a gift he'll thank you for with every new book. Let's hope it becomes a movie!!

Summary: Interesting
Review: It's a interesting story about the early stages of the SEAL Teams. However, the book seemed to jump around too much.
