Seal Team 6 is
back in action rescuing a ship from pirates. As the story
begins, a cargo ship is being boarded by pirates. The captain
was enjoying the voyage with his wife when they were boarded
and the pirates demanded money. The captain opened the safe
and gave them all they had while his crew was being butchered
and his wife was hiding in their quarters. The leader stopped
them from raping the wife, but most of the crew was dead or
dying.
Meanwhile, Seal Team 6 was outside a compound
in the desert, waiting on a drone to spot the mullah they
were supposed to assassinate. The drone went off course and
was late. Then, the leader of Team 6, Tom Crocker, was told
to abort his current mission and prepare to rescue the cargo
ship from pirates. They were flown by helicopter to a point
where the team of six could be safely dropped with their zodiacs
and equipment, into the ocean.
They boarded the ship and rescued the captain
and his wife. They found a crewman still alive as well and
arranged for their rescue and transport to a medical facility.
By this time, the pirates had transferred the cargo to their
boat and were headed for the coast of Somalia. Crocker and
his men got into their Zodiacs and gave chase. The little
boat the pirates had was pretty sophisticated and it even
boasted a torpedo or two. The team managed to hit the water
before the torpedo took out Crocker’s Zodiac. Already
dressed in diving gear, the team managed to sink the boat
and its cargo. They went down to see what was in those six
containers. They found they were all marked with the international
symbol that warned of radioactive content.
“Seal
Team 6: Hunt for Scorpion” is a fast-moving story as
Crocker and his men go from one mission to another to keep
Scorpion, a series of nuclear bomb components, out of the
hands of terrorists. There is no break in the action, no warning
in how the plot will twist next.
The characters
are all human, even the inhumane terrorists. The settings
are exotic, even in Tripoli, Libya’s war-ravaged capitol.
Read by Peter Ganim, this reading expresses all the emotion
that makes the story live and breathe. Pick up “Seal
Team 6: Hunt for Scorpion” and go on some wild missions
with the cursing sailors of Seal Team 6.
