Purple Heart, Vol. 2

The Brave,
The Elite,
The Unkown Heroes

The world is in flames once more -- and war demands its terrible tribute in blood. Many have already fallen in freedom's cause -- and the Navy's crack Underwater Demolition Team has paid dearly in wounded and the dead. Meticulously trained amphibious commandos, they silently stalk the enemy in his own waters. In turbulent seas they are tested and they triumph, unaware that their success and courageous sacrifice are being noted at the nation's highest levels -- giving rise to glorious legend . . . and to the birth of the most awesome elite fighting force America has ever known.

H. Jay Riker has written five books in his submarine warfare series, The Silent Service, and ten books in his bestselling military fiction series, SEALs, The Warrior Breed. Retired from the U.S. Navy, he has been writing fiction for more than a decade, and his novels have been highly praised for both their nail-biting action and remarkable authenticity.
