About this ebook

An aircraft carrier adrift with a crew the size of a small town. A killer in their midst. And the disgraced Navy SEAL who must track him down . . . The high-octane debut thriller from New York Times bestselling writing team Webb & Mann—combat-decorated Navy SEAL Brandon Webb and award-winning author John David Mann.

A BARRY AWARD NOMINEE“Sensationally good—an instant classic, maybe an instant legend.”—Lee Child
 
The moment Navy SEAL sniper Finn sets foot on the USS Abraham Lincolnto hitch a ride home from the Persian Gulf, it’s clear something is deeply wrong. Leadership is weak. Morale is low. And when crew members start disappearing one by one, what at first seems like a random string of suicides soon reveals something far more sinister: There’s a serial killer on board. Suspicion falls on Finn, the newcomer to the ship. After all, he’s being sent home in disgrace, recalled from the field under the dark cloud of a mission gone horribly wrong. He’s also a lone wolf, haunted by gaps in his memory and the elusive sense that something he missed may have contributed to civilian deaths on his last assignment. Finding the killer offers a chance at redemption . . . if he can stay alive long enough to prove it isn’t him.

I received a free electronic ARC of this excellent novel from the Authors, retired SEAL Brandon Webb and best-selling author John David Mann, and Random House Publishing-Bantum Books via Netgalley. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me. I have read this military novel of my own volition, and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work. I am very pleased to recommend Steel Fear to friends and family. This is a tightly-wound mystery with personable characters and a shot at understanding the life of our military as they protect us on carriers around the world. Brandon Webb actually served on the USS Abraham Lincoln in the 1990s, so the ship's details are sharply focused and awe-inspiring in complexity. I doubt if either of our authors is an accomplished murderer, but they certainly have vivid imaginations... For which I for one am grateful. The tension never ends, and the mystery even when obvious is still in doubt. I think there will be more from these guys featuring Finn. I can't wait!
