DESCRIPTION:
It's not going to be an easy job, which is why the pay is so high. The secrecy is strict. A Chinese frigate has deserted. A recent widower, he's struggling to provide for his two children when an intriguing, and lucrative, job offer comes his way - a counter-piracy mission, with a price tag higher than he's ever seen. Dan Tackett is slowly dying inside. He takes the job. The training is grueling. The contractors that Dan has joined have been hired to eliminate the pirates and liberate the oil company personnel on the islands that Captain Yuan has seized. But it's only going to get harder, because there are other forces at play, including a task force of Chinese Sea Dragon commandos, who have the same mission: Kill Yuan.. And the mission is not what he expected. Her captain has set himself up to become a pirate kingpin in the South China Sea, right along the primary trade route feeding into the Strait of Malacca. He can't resist
Steven Hildreth, Jr. said Solid, Thrilling Mercenary Fiction. Former Reconnaissance Marine Peter Nealen is no stranger to the mercenary action genre, having penned four novels in his AMERICAN PRAETORIANS series.

Pete Nealen hits his stride with "Kill Yuan" taking the readers to the South Pacific with private security contractors engaging in the very dubious (and illegal) endeavor of removing a rogue Chinese military officer turned pirate. Dan Tackett is a former Marines who is down on his luck, and with two kids to take care of as a single parent, he needs the scratch that comes along with a high risk contract. If only he knew what he was getting intoKill Yuan is a much needed diversion from most of the books currently coming out in the action-adventure genre, you know the type, ex-Navy SEAL wages a one man war against some dodgy Arabs wi. Excellent, authentic, riveting! One moment everything was going swimmingly, the next their world dropped out from under them and it's a minute to minute battle for survival with no real light at the end of the tunnel. Over the last couple of year's I have become a big fan of combat-vets-turned-writers, like Jack Murphy and Brad Taylor. They can give put a very authentic combat experience in novel form that no-one who has not experienced it first hand can provide. This is very true of Nealen's writings. In my opinion this is his best novel so far. In his previous "American Praetorian" novels he sometimes spent a little too much time on the technical and tactical
