Description

Own the Night begins in 1968 during Vietnam's Tet Offensive, as Lt. Jake Boucher and his platoon of Navy SEALs witness a plane crash while on a mission to rescue a POW deep inside enemy territory in Cambodia. The story resumes in present day as the rescued POW, Leon "Pat" Patterson, retires from the FBI and offers his old SEAL benefactor some closely held information that the plane was carrying South Vietnam's gold reserves from Saigon, in advance of its impending fall to the Communists. The SEALs reunite and return to recover the gold, but what they find involves them in the heart of an intricate conspiracy, threatening the entire U.S. government and the security and lifestyle of every citizen.

Reviews / Praise

"Own the Night is a page turner - It's raw and real. Paul Evancoe masterfully skews fact and fiction into an exquisitely evocative story that will both disturb and delight you. I can't wait for the sequel."
- Vince Flynn, best selling author of Protect and Defend

"Former Navy SEAL Paul Evancoe has written a plausible and terrifying tale of conspiracy and suspense. Paul is a warrior, a true American hero, and his Own the Night reflects his background, training and experience. It's realistic; it's hard, and it's powerful. A great read. I'll be having nightmares for some time about this story."
- Ben F. Small, acclaimed author of Alibi On Ice and The Olive Horseshoe

"Own the Night is a gripping action-packed thriller that pulls in the reader from the opening pages. In his first novel, Paul Evancoe weaves military and political elements into an adventure story with a plot like a freight train. Written with an amazing level of authenticity, Own the Night is an entertaining and thought provoking page-turner. I highly recommend it."
- Harold Wise, author of Inside the Danger Zone: The U.S. Military in the Persian Gulf 1987-88

"The fast-paced action and narrative descriptions of personalities, places, and plot in CDR Paul Evancoe's exciting new military adventure novel OWN the NIGHT ring with the authority and authenticity of personal knowledge and experience. But they should! They are based on his extensive career both as a combat-seasoned Navy SEAL operator and National Nuclear Security expert. This is a very exciting and authentic book that weaves an intellectually engaging design."

"Own The Night is such an exciting and enjoyable read that once started cannot be set aside for later. Throughout the entire book the Author gives the story, related history, characters, action, and place settings such a genuine feel that becoming totally immersed into the chapters is unavoidable. Paul Evancoe's descriptions of military equipment, language, and world political geography do an exceedingly impressive job of further authenticating the unpredictable plot. The story is filled with action and feels very, very real. It surprises as much as it excites and left me wanting more!"

"Paul Evancoe's first novel is one helluva ride! Loosely based on some of his own combat stories, Evancoe has created an action packed adventure that kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. If you enjoy military and spec ops related fiction, this is the book to read!"
