SEAL Mania

Today's Washington Post included an article on the new books coming about Navy SEALs.  I am reviewing one now for Books and Culture on line.  I'll talk about that in a later post.  Beyond the serious books by former SEALs, it turns out there are Navy SEAL Romance Novels!

The review begins:

"Ever since an elite unit of Navy SEALs stormed a fortresslike compound near Islamabad, Pakistan, and killed Osama bin Laden, people can’t get enough of the SEALs. There are some who want to know what it’s like to be one, and others who want to know what it takes to become one. Then, there are those who want to know what it might be like to, well, “be” with one."




It's a fun review.  Check it out!

  1. I seriously hope the whole mission to whack Osama wasn't a ploy by Harlequin to sell romance novels! Was the seal who did the job really a writer doing research, trying to instill a little reality into their fiction? I don't think so, but that in itself might make an interesting book. Hmm.

  2. If it was a Harlequin plot, maybe they will be an Al Qaeda target!!!
