Seal Team 666: St. Martins Press-3PL
Autor Weston Ochseen Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 noi 2012
Provenind din limba engleză, textul lui Weston Ochse propune o hibridizare curajoasă: rigoarea terminologiei militare transpusă într-un univers marcat de horror-ul visceral. Traducerea unei astfel de opere trebuie să păstreze echilibrul fragil între jargonul tactic, specific forțelor de elită, și atmosfera apăsătoare a confruntărilor cu entități arhaice. Considerăm că Seal Team 666 nu este doar un exercițiu de gen, ci o explorare a limitei unde pregătirea umană întâlnește inexplicabilul.
Premisa ne așază lângă Jack Walker, un recrut promițător care părăsește antrenamentele standard pentru a se alătura unei echipe despre care manualele nu suflă o vorbă. Apreciem modul în care Ochse folosește experiența sa reală în serviciile de informații pentru a ancora narativ lupta împotriva unui cult global care amenință însăși realitatea. Din punct de vedere stilistic, Seal Team 666 amintește de Hunt the Wolf de Don Mann prin detaliile tehnice meticuloase și ritmul alert al operațiunilor speciale, dar se diferențiază radical prin introducerea elementului malign, primordial, care transformă teatrul de operațiuni într-un peisaj de coșmar.
În contextul operei sale, această lucrare rafinează temele din Burning Sky — unde trauma militară și horror-ul se întrepătrund — și anticipează precizia claustrofobică din Aliens: Infiltrator. Putem afirma că autorul reușește să creeze o mitologie proprie, în care disciplina militară devine ultima barieră în fața haosului metafizic, oferind o lectură cu un ton grav, aproape documentar, în ciuda subiectului fantastic.

Despre autor
Weston Ochse este un nume de referință în literatura de gen, fiind laureat al premiului Bram Stoker și nominalizat la Pushcart Prize. Experiența sa de viață este la fel de fascinantă ca ficțiunile sale: este un ofițer de informații în retragere al armatei SUA și actual analist în cadrul Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Această carieră în inima securității naționale îi permite să infuzeze lucrările sale, de la benzi desenate la romane precum Seal Team 666 sau Aliens: Infiltrator, cu un realism tehnic rar întâlnit. Locuiește în Arizona, aproape de granița internațională, decor ce deseori inspiră tensiunea din scrierile sale.
Recenzii
*"New York Post" Required Reading Selection* "SEAL Team 6, the real-life elite team that killed Osama bin Laden, has never seen the kinds of things that confront its fictional counterpart." --"Kirkus Reviews"
"A fan of Tom Clancy-ish military thrillers would be as engrossed in this book as a fan of Jim Butcher's novels about Harry Dresden." --CriminalElement.com "Even the supernatural has its own division of terrorist. Thank goodness we have our defenders - SEAL Team 666." --Joe R. Lansdale "Weston Ochse has always been a wised-up, clued-in, completely trustworthy writer of high-action fiction that deserved a wider audience, and "SEAL Team 666" is his breakthrough book. Here, every story-line is as taut as a gunfighter's nerves, and individual scenes pop like firecrackers. I raced through this novel and when it ended, I wanted more." --Peter Straub, "New York Times" bestselling author of" In the Night Room """SEAL Team 666" is like "X-Files" and "Torchwood "written by Tom Clancy: ingenious, creepy, and entertaining." --Kevin J. Anderson, #1 international bestselling author of "Death Warmed Over""A wild blend of nail-biting thriller action and out-of-the shadows horror. This is the supernatural thriller at its most dynamic. Perfect!" --Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of "Dead of Night" and "The King of Plagues"
"What we have here is a massively exciting and fast paced story that really flies along at a cracking pace. In fact, I would even say it doesn't even give the reader a chance to breathe, instead it makes them turn page after page to see what is going to happen next." --Curiosity of a Social Misfit
"An action packed and well written first story in what I see becoming a great and popular series; which has a strong lead in the form of Jack Walker." Seal Team 666" has enough military jargon and weaponry to keep military lovers happy and enough horrible creatures and gruesome deaths to keep fans of the supe

Perfect!"--Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of "Dead of Night" and "The King of Plagues" Praise for Weston Ochse: "Weston Ochse is to horror what Bradbury is to science fiction -- an artist whose craft, stories and voice are so distinct and mesmerizing that you can't help but be enthralled."--Dani Kollin, Prometheus Award-winning author of "The Unincorporated Man" "Make way for a new powerhouse on the block. Hard work and formidable skills have already shot-gunned Ochse to the front of the genre's exciting new pack of writers. With creative brawn, brains, and balls, the guy's locked, loaded, and switched to full-auto, blazing away with his unique and original brand of modern horror, one of the few new writers, I'd say, who will help re-define the field for the future."--Master of Dark Fiction Edward Lee on Weston Ochse "Weston Ochse is a mercurial writer, one of those depressingly talented people who are good at whatever they turn their hand to."--Conrad Williams, August Derleth and International Horror Guil
Praise for "SEAL Team 666" "Jack Walker, a young cadet in training for the Navy SEALs, was possessed by a "grave demon" while growing up in the Philippines. Drafted into SEAL Team 666, a secret special ops unit that fights demons, monsters and ghosts, he is uniquely equipped to thwart an evil threat from Myanmar poised to wreak havoc on the world.
SEAL Team 6, the real-life elite team that killed Osama bin Laden, has never seen the kinds of things that confront its fictional counterpart. Walker has barely settled into his new role when a spiked, six-legged beast--it takes an epic round of gunfire to bring down--surprises him and his four partners. The SEALs soon confront golemlike homunculus creatures, which run amok, appearing and disappearing, intent on plucking out and devouring its victims' intestines. The scariest creature is politically rooted, summoning ancient curses to empower a separatist movement in Myanmar. To thwart his wicked opponent, Walker must overcome the fugue states he enters into when his old demons act up. (A Navy brat, he was cursed by a witch doctor mad at his father for selling supplies on the black market.) He gets help from the squad's intrepid dog, which has unique skills of its own. Ochse, credited as an intelligence officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency, won a Bram Stoker Award for his first novel, Scarecrow Gods (2005). He brings both a lively gallows humor to the story and just the right amount of conviction to make his scenarios as creepy as they are cartoonish.
May not be for fans of realism-soaked military fiction, but it will leave fans of a woolier kind of combat tale looking forward to future installments." --"Kirkus Reviews ""Even the supernatural has its own division of terrorist. Thank goodness we have our defenders - SEAL Team 666."--Joe R.
