8 chapters in and I couldn't go on. The first book had it issues but I thought things would develop better. The story is just too far out there for me and the constant bravado of the main characters is too difficult to listen to.

It's Hemingway so the story is excellent. Luckily the narrator was perfect for this and created the an outstanding performance.

Meyli does a great job of placing you in her shoes. A young professional who never thought something so terrible could happen to her. Not the just the event its self but the aftermath. Dealing with the trauma and her account concerning her employer just treating her like a number... Can't recommend the book enough.

It's a great story, entertaining with some historical accuracies and many fun exaggerations. Regardless it is a great story and worth the listen.

Decent but too much bravado and inaccurate technical specs take away from the story. The overall premise is interesting and as the story unfolds it keeps your interest but the bravado of the characters begins to ruin the story. The inaccurate technical specs is irritating. The author failed to do proper research on basic information and anyone interested in these topics it will be irritated by it. Example would be a character firing his SR25 "7.65" sniper rifle when it is suppose to be a 7.62.

The last thing, without completely spoiling the story... The portrayal of the US Special Operations community is way off base.

Maybe the series improves, I will give part 2 a chance.

Reading through the reviews I thought this book would have a better chance of being a good book. Instead I found myself agitated at the overwhelming emphasis on racial tension, insisting that law enforcement is corrupt with white supremacy and that the US is essentially filled with non stop gun violence.
The author continues to insist the racially motivated alt right will bring about the coming civil war supported by US law enforcement.
The book has potential but the author is off base.

Don’t waste your time on this.

I really enjoyed the book but the author overuses the Wright Brothers story. I will probably relisten in the future.

75% of this book is really good. It has a lot of good information but is ruined by the authors obvious biases. There is a point in the book where the author goes on a rant listing out all the ways and reasons humans kill but reports that carnivore animals only kill for food. This ranting chapter was odd to hear when the majority of the book prior to this was full of information backed up with solid facts or at least credible theory.

The bias continues with one too many anti law enforcement comments. Describing police officers as "trained killers" and painting a picture that there is a epidemic issue of correctional officers sexually assaulting prisoners. The author spends a large amount of time on the Boston Marathon Bombers and insinuates the officers who pursued were wrong. The author continues by telling the Bomber's stories in an empathetic way that I found disturbing.

The author describes Police Riot Teams as wearing modern armor, reminiscent of knights facing off with peasants. These scattered bias comments became far too obvious and made the book difficult to finish. Sad because one really bad chapter and a smattering of BS keeps me from recommending this book.

A little over the top but thats what Mat Best is about 90% of the time. It was cool to hear more about his life.

An amazing story and so powerful. Highly recommended.

It will leave you feeling ashamed that civilization leaves many in Africa for dead.
