The E-edition will have white outs through out the book due to sensitive information. Regardless, it was a great read. ( )

Segundo libro de Mark Owen tras su crónica de cómo mató a Bin Laden. El libro consta de ocho fogonazos, ocho recuerdos aislados desde que salió de la escuela de los SEAL hasta que se retiró, catorce años después. Son ocho misiones, las primeras de entrenamiento y las últimas en Afganistán, habiendo pasado por Irak. En cada una cuenta cómo fue todo y qué aprendió de ellas. El libro es interesante, al igual que su predecesor, a pesar de que el estilo del autor es tirando a aséptico, incluso cuando cuenta cómo eliminaban a los Talibanes casa por casa en remotas aldeas cerca de la frontera de Pakistán. Lectura interesante para el aficionado a estos temas. ( )

L'auteur de ce roman est l'un des hommes qui ont donné l'assaut au deuxième étage de la maison de Ben Laden.

An OK book, nothing special. Audiobook narrator was great, as usual (the audio companies seem to have gotten that aspect down pretty good these days). Basically some stories of SEAL activity and those are interesting for anyone interested in SEAL adventures. I enjoyed the book - it was written almost as if you were sitting around bs-ing with a SEAL about his adventures. Apparently SEALs tend to think they are some superheroes, because he kept saying "we're not heroes".... um.... no, you aren't, why do you keep saying that? It's as if they really do think they are super great heroes but are trying to sound modest. SEALs excel at beefing up, fighting, playing outdoors, and killing... it's clear from the stories that they want to kill and enjoy killing. Just like any endeavor, they are good at what they practice. They have a fun life (IMO) spending lots of time outdoors, exercising, and living on the edge - that in my book is "fun" (not the killing, though I suppose if I were a SEAL I would enjoy it). Nothing more, nothing less. Anyway, I recommend the book if you simply enjoy hearing some SEAL adventures but I don't recommend it if you get worked up (either way) about killing people. ( )
