Product Description
In The Unsung Hero, award-winning author Suzanne Brockmann dazzled readers with her remarkable cast of tough and tender U.S. Navy SEALs. Now her daring men in uniform return for THE DEFIANT HERO—a thrilling novel of steadfast courage, intimate passions, and the profound risks that are taken in the name of love. . . .
"The United States refuses to negotiate with terrorists." Meg Moore remembered the warning from her job as a translator in a European embassy. Those same words will spell out a death sentence for her daughter and grandmother who have been kidnapped by a lethal group called the Extremists. Meg will do anything to meet their unspeakable demands; anything—even kill—to save her child.
When Navy SEAL Lieutenant, junior grade, John Nilsson is summoned to Washington, D.C., by the FBI to help negotiate a hostage situation, the last person he expects to see holding a foreign ambassador at gunpoint is Meg. He hasn't seen her in years, but he's never forgotten how it feels to hold her in his arms. John could lose his career if he helps her escape. She will lose her life if he doesn't. . . .

Forget Nils and Meg: It's all about Sam and Alyssa, 2008-07-24
First I must take issue with the fact that people keep insisting that you don't have to read the Troubleshooters books in sequence. I contend you do. I read The Unsung Hero first and then jumped to Into the Storm and frankly felt like I had ruined the series by doing so. It doesn't help that the books are in no way labeled as a series. I really missed out on enjoying the way the relationships between various characters developed throughout the series. Max and Gina, Decker and Sophia, and Sam and Alyssa.
Secondly: Sam and Alyssa. Whoa. All I can say is chocolate syrup, handcuffs and a hot naked navy seal and Ms. Brockmann has my attention. I really didn't feel the main storyline between Nils and Meg. She annoyed me and their relationship seemed needlessly complicated. I did enjoy the WWII storyline. But Sam and Alyssa. Whoa again. One of my favourite romance novel couples (aside from Elizabeth and Darcy--really it's that epic people--lol)

 I disliked the characters, and I disliked the author's writing style., 2008-05-17
The author has five different stories happening, 3 current day and 2 flashbacks. She frequently is telling one story, then stops at a cliff-hanger point, then goes on to another two stories before coming back to the first story. Notwithstanding the cliff-hangers, she is jumping around within these five stories for the entire book. It was irritating, annoying and offensive. It felt worse than tv commercial interruptions. Other authors can create suspense without resorting to this method. Aside from this problem, I did not like the choices and actions of the three main female characters. I disliked Eve's lying in her flashback story. I disliked the way Alyssa treated Sam and therefore I disliked her. I hated Meg's actions. She kept doing stupid things that put her own life and John's life in danger. I also didn't like the way she pressured him to tell about his abused youth. Nothing was fun about this book. I wanted it to be over. The story is primarily about Arab terrorists kidnapping two females and related Navy SEALS action. Sexual language: moderate. Number of sex scenes: four. Copyright: 2001. Genre: romantic suspense.

Suzanne Brockmann, I've read them all!, 2007-12-01
I was hooked on Ms. Brockmann's characters from the very first book. You don't have to read them in the order they were written but do so if you can.
Follow the same SEALS from book to book and you'll really get to know them!
