Introduction

The Navy SEALs have been fighting terrorists around the world for more than a decade. And for all that time, the Bandito Platoon from SEAL Team Seven has been on continuous combat rotation. Now they have drawn a shipboard assignment off Central America ? an easy day. But for a Navy SEAL, the only easy day was yesterday. Act of Valor goes deep into the secret world of today's most elite and highly trained group of warriors. When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plot against the United States, a team of SEALs is dispatched on a worldwide manhunt. As the men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that could kill and wound thousands of American civilians, they must balance their commitments to country, Team, and their families back home. But each time they accomplish their mission, a new piece of intelligence reveals another shocking twist to the plot, which stretches from Chechnya to the Philippines and from Ukraine to Somalia. The widening operation sends the SEALs across the globe as they track a terrorist ring to the U.S.-Mexico border ? where they engage in an epic firefight with potentially unimaginable consequences for America? In a powerful story of global anti-terrorism ? inspired by real-life missions ? Act of Valor combines stunning combat scenes, up-to-the-minute battlefield technology, and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate in action adventure.

Suggested by Members

The seal motto of "the only easy day was yesterday" is an interesting concept. Discuss how the concept pushes the men to be forward thinking to the next challenge whether it is a mission or in their personal lives.
The themes of brotherhood and respect are very prevalent throughout the book. Roarke and Nolan exhibit these characteristics profoundly. Discuss how the themes are essential to the cohesive nature of the team and in their family lives.
The term hero is applied in many areas in our culture. Discuss how the term hero applies specifically to the characters of Roarke and Nolan. Who would you consider a hero in your personal life? Why?
