About this ebook
From the coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller American Sniper—the critically acclaimed memoir of SEAL sniper Chris Kyle—this “inspired by true events” thriller follows one of America’s most lethal marksmen as he leads the rescue of a downed female Special Ops pilot.
ONE TEAM. ONE SHOT. ONE WAY.
In direct defiance of the president’s orders, Navy Master Chief Gil Shannon, one of America’s most lethal SEAL snipers, launches his own bold mission comprised of SEAL Team Six and Delta Force fighters to free a female helicopter pilot being held and brutally mistreated by Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan.
The president fears a botched rescue would be a foreign policy disaster—and the end of his term. But once the special ops community learns that one of their own has been taken hostage, there is no executive order strong enough to stop them from going in—whatever the risks.

Damn good read, my first 5 star review. only one minor error. Jet engines don't have prop wash, they have thrust. I grew up air force around B-52s at Griffiss AFB and I was a jet engine tech in the air force working on J79s for the RF4 Phantom. First day in the engine shop ( later Test Cell) an E5 sent me to supply for a "bucket of prop wash". I grinned and said, "don't you mean a bucket of thrust?, these are jet engines". Dad had already prepared me for that trick.

Once I started, I couldnt put it down. A man with a code of honor and the will to back it up. Its fiction, but a great escape from the phonies and self serving wimps we have to call our leaders today.

This book must have been written by a Military Enlistment Recruiter. It would be great for a teenage boy that you wanted to push to enlist into the military. It is designed to glorify WAR, and the US Military. Total TRASH FICTION!
