Summary: Compelling!
Comment: I have rarely been compelled to write or comment on a book but I felt I should on this one. I try not to "over analize" characters and enjoy a story as the author presents it. The one complaint I have about "Gone Too Far" is that to truly appreciate the story you must have read the other books in the series. Now that said... I have found a compelling story that had me regretting having to put the book down. Ms. Brockmann does an excellent job of intertwining character stories -- I look forward to reading more of her books.

Summary: Gone Too Far
Comment: I loved the book. I too have read all 5 previous books in the series. Here, we finally have Sam and Alyssa's story. I can hardly wait until the 7th installment.
Rating: 3
Summary: She should stick to romance
Comment: This book didn't live up to the promise of the rest of the series.
Maybe it's just me, but one of my favorite things about the rest of the SEAL books is the Ms. Brockmann's treatment of different races. They're teammates, they're friends, they're lovers, and they balance each others' strengths and weaknesses. And all her characters have strengths and weaknesses. In this book, she seems to have given up on making everyone human in favor of blatant political correctness.
1. The Al Quaeda terrorist is from Ohio or somewhere and has blond hair and blue eyes.
2. The Saudi Arabian Muslims are all kind, gentle, peace-loving Americans.
3. The black Americans of 1945 are kind to whites and receptive to interracial marriages, while the white Americans are intolerant violent rednecks.
4. Germans in the 1940's are also racially tolerant and eagerly accept interracial marriages (right, tell that to Jesse Owens!)
5. Alyssa Locke, who used to be "part White, part African American, part Hispanic and part God only knows what", has morphed into a "black woman", and a "sister" and has a black mother and a white father (naturally he deserted his family). This makes her a much less interesting character and incidentally makes her red hair and green eyes a genetic impossibility.
Like I said, I really liked the way she treated the different races in her earlier books, and that's probably why this one was such a disappointment.
