It’s de-SEALed Navy SEAL partners Shelby Ryder and Earl Bernstein’s third mission, second opportunity to be re-SEALed and first chance to do something right. Oh, they’ve been in trouble with the government before, but this time if they fail, they’ll face a firing squad.The mission is simple enough. A key ally of the president of the United States has been murdered by the Dark Cowboy, a mysterious … mysterious figure holed up in the Arizona mountains, and the president gives Shelby and Earl a deadline to bring him back to Washington dead or alive.
So, off the dedicated, if somewhat trigger-happy, pair venture into the sun-scorched, spooky Superstition Mountains, where they encounter dehydration, ghosts and just about everything but the Dark Cowboy. Now with time running out and the firing squad imminent, they realize they’ll have to use more than their weaponry to complete the mission. They’ll have to rely on their wits.
In other words, things don’t look good.

Shelby, Earl and Admiral Bull are summoned by the President to undertake a super secret mission with the chance to become seals again! This time they are on a dangerous mission in more ways than one! They tackle militiamen, scorching temperatures and the dry desert air and all the critters that live in the desert! This was an edge of your seat, nonstop action adventure with plenty of humor in it. I love this series and look forward to reading the next book in the series
Yippee-Ki-Yay A-Navy is a farcical mission into the Superstition Mountains with “de-SEALED” SEALS.
The President gives disgraced SEALS a chance to redeem themselves and avoid a firing squad by taking down the Dark Cowboy, a mysterious villain in the Superstition Mountains. Led by an off-the-wall octogenarian Rear Admiral, they charge into the Arizona desert with very little preparation and no real sense of their quarry, the obstacles, or the terrain. Their silly attempts to conquer the many challenges provide ample opportunities for laughs. I enjoyed the book even though I grew mad at the stupidity of the United-SEALS. Think Wyatt Earp & his brothers as the Keystone Cops.
Well, Gregg Bell has done it again! His newest book takes us another “secret” SEAL misadventure. This time duty takes our three “heroes” to the desert and mountains of Arizona. Our friendly group of “De-SEALed” SEALS, Shelby Ryder, Earl Bernstein, and 85- year-old Bertha ‘Bull’ Gompers receive their orders directly from the President and the adventure begins. This is the third book in the Navy SEAL Misadventure Series. Each book is standalone and a complete story. However, I think that you get a better perspective of the heroes if you read the books in series order. Each of the books contains satirical humor and can be unbelievable at times. I found Yippee Ki Yay-A-Navy to be more realistic and understandable than the other books. I don’t know if that is because I am more familiar with the characters and their antics or that the book was just more believable. I enjoyed reading the book; I found it easy to get into the story. This book is so funny that sometimes I burst out laughing. Other times, I just shake my head and say “really” to myself. If you enjoy reading books that are filled with humor and take you on wild adventures, then you will enjoy reading Yippee Ki Yay-A-Navy.
The three patriots are again on a mission for the President. This adventure takes us to the Superstition Mountians. Bull, Ryder and Bernstein are after the notorious Dark Cowboy. The President has promised the three that he will reinstate them as SEALs if they succeed. As usual their adventures are hilarious and filled with all kinds of missteps. People will think you’re crazy for laughing out loud all by yourself. For a good laugh and lighthearted reading, this is the book for you. laughing out loud all by yourself. For a good laugh and lighthearted reading, this is the book for you.
Lincoln Dansbury has been found dead right in front of the Arizona State Capitol building! It can’t be, can it?! He was the spiritual leader of the president’s highly secret, at least fairly secret, counter-domestic terrorism group he used to offset the rise of the militia in our country. He calls his most trustworthy and courageous sort of under cover operatives in to the Oval Office to help bring the killer to justice. Shelby Ryder, Earl Bernstein and Bertha “Bull” Gompers are SEALS who have been deSEALed due to their participation in a mission that went wrong. Shelby was simply trying to seek revenge against the Russians who torpedoed her parents! Um, it might have failed?? They lost their SEAL Status. They desperately want to be reSEALed and regain their proper position in the Navy. The President tells them that he knows who Dansbury’s killer is…The Dark Cowboy. It’s their job to find him and smoke him out of wherever he is hiding and bring him to justice. With a formidable fighting machine called the Sea LIONS – Sea Launch Immediate Operational Naval Squadron, on his trail, the DARK COWBOY’S days are numbered. This is one of the most hilarious books I’ve read and your senses of humor, sarcasm and wit will be stimulated! This is book three in this NAVY non-SEALS series and is even more entertaining when read after the first two! Gregg Bell’s wit and silliness have never been better!
So, our rather crazy de-Sealed trio are called upon by the president to take down an ultra right wing militia leader, the Dark Cowboy.
Once again they manage to make just about every mistake it is possible to make and trust all the wrong people in trying to carry out the president’s orders, which all leads to many people becoming ‘collateral damage’ (killed) on their journey to the cowboy’s citadel.
The characters are all complete caricatures, and the situations they find themselves in are definitely worthy of high farce, leading to plenty of laugh out loud moments.
It is probably worth reiterating a warning that I gave in a review of another book in this series, and that is that this is a comedy, it isn’t meant to be in any way a representation of a serious Seal team or operation, so if you’re looking for a military thriller then please look elsewhere.
For a comedy though, it is definitely recommended.
This is my first book by this author but it won’t be my last. It’s a fun,adventurous book with a cast of colorful characters and an entertaining story line. He does a fantastic job developing both his characters and story line and kept me reading right to the end. He brings it to life with his vividly painted scenes and kind of reminded me of the old TV sitcom McHale’s Navy which I loved as a kid. It’s a laugh out loud story I loved reading. Well done!!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Loyal Navy SEALs, until they we de-SEALed, Shelby, Earl, and Admiral Bull Gompers are off on another adventure.
The President tries to assign Bull to desk duty, but that is met with predictable, if hilarious, results. As Shelby puts it, desk duty is just another kind of death sentence for a Admiral Gompers.
The trio work with a limited budget and a comedic and miscellaneous support team – a real comic cast of characters.
They struck a blow for truth, democracy and medical marijuana.
A fun and fabulous satire!
