Dick Couch’s standalone novels span his career from Seal Team One (1991) through Act of Valor (2012). His debut drew on his own service to tell a story of SEAL operations, and Pressure Point (1992) and Silent Descent (1993) continued in the same vein. Rising Wind (1996) explored a different military scenario.
Act of Valor (2012) is notable as the novelization of the film that featured active-duty Navy SEALs in the starring roles. Couch’s name on the book brought credibility to what could have been a simple tie-in product, and the novel stands on its own as a military thriller.
