The second in the SEAL Team Sixteen series, "The Defiant Hero," manages to capture and maintain tension and action-packed suspense with each turn of the page. The characters literally jump from the page to capture your attention.
Widow Meg Moore is forced by terrorists to kidnap a foreign national in exchange for her daughter and grandmother, who they are holding captive. Knowing that it is a hopeless situation, Meg tells the hostage negotiators that the only negotiator she will even consider talking to is John Nilsson, a Navy SEAL that she met while on a foreign assignment. John has carried a torch for Meg for many years, but has not acted on his feelings since she was married at the time.
No one is more surprised than John when he is called to negotiate. The Meg he remembers would never do anything so suicidal. A linguistics expert, the two manage to communicate via a language no one else recognizes, and she reveals the fate of her family. When all is not what it appears, and Meg spirits away her prey to barter for her family, John is quickly on her tail, trying to win her trust and help her out of the mess.
"The Defiant Hero" also marks the consummation of the love-hate relationship between SEAL Lt. Sam Starrett and FBI Agent Alyssa Locke, which plays out over the next several installments in the series. This relationship is so complex, it is no wonder that it plays out over several books.
