Dealing with devastation has been a part of Silas Branson’s life since joining the Navy and more so since advancing to the teams, but the fallout from his personal trauma has left him reeling. Throw a physical injury into the mix, and life just became a comedy of errors, that no one, especially Silas, is laughing about. SEAL Strong is a powerful start to the brand new, multi author series, Silver SEALs. In this prequel story, Cat Johnson has penned a heart-wrenching account of personal loss and the crippling emotional heartbreak that ensues. I’ve read many SEAL series, and I’m also a huge fan of Ms Johnson, but this story was definitely something special and unique. It certainly had all the expected elements of action, danger, and protective SEAL portrayed; but what really appealed to this reader, was the honest, real life account of the consequences of gut-wrenching heartache, and the battle to overcome tragedy while learning to forgive. The plot, timeline and character depictions throughout this story were authentic and made the telling thoroughly believable. Thank you Ms Johnson for an exceptional start to this exciting new series. I can’t wait to read more!
