Product Description:
In a daring surprise raid on December 7th, a group of fanatical Japanese terrorists capture a U.S. facility on a small Pacific island where millions of pounds of lethal chemical agents are being stockpiled--enough toxic material to annihilate one-quarter of the world's population. The West Coast of America is targeted for destruction--unless a crack SEAL team commander and a modern-day samurai join forces on a daring mission to avert the apocalypse.

Having lived on Johston Atoll for 5 years and having worked in the chemical demilitarization plant the book took on really special meaning to me. I had my hardback copy autographed by the various island commanders and the project manager for Chem demil. The plot was great and plausable. I could visualize the events taking place around me as I read the book on the island. While some poetic license was necessary it is mostly accurate.
I highly recommend the book.

This is a book! Great carachters and really interesting heros. Don't mind the homophobia because this is accurate, being that alll the Naval members, I, have met, really do act like this.
Being a fan of Japanese history, the author gave me the fealing of being with the team. The way he talks Navy and the ending Wow wee

This was a good read. Anyone who likes a good action novel will enjoy this book. Plus it adds a bit with the Japanese characters. If you like military thrillers, and NAVY SEALS etc. you will enjoy this book.

This was a good read, one that often compels you to read just one more chapter before the light goes off. This one has a lot going on during the tale. Japanese militant terrorists, Navy SEALs, hostages, plenty of military hardware, generals, admirals, a few pretty brutal parts, a daring rescue mission - the workds. I liked the bonding between the Japanese Defense Force commando unit and the SEALs, a good touch. I enjoyed the fact that the SEALs did have limitations and were not bullet-proof as so many other novels seem to indicate. Overall, a well-paced adventure and a convincing cast of characters. This would make a terrific motion picture. Check it out.

If you like Tom Clancy military technothrillers, you should love Dick Couch. His personal resume is impressive...Vietnam vet Navy SEAL platoon leader who led the only successful POW rescue, ex-CIA maritime officer,etc. Rising Wind is Couch's second best work. I personally liked Pressure Point the best. Not much for the wordiness of Clancy, Couch is more action and details. No fat. But more story and storytelling than Richard Marchinko and his " fiction ". For fans of the genre.
