Dale Hanson takes us from a northern Minnesota boyhood to the incredible stresses of US special operations during the Vietnam War, the deadly world of MAC-V-SOG, the top-secret Special Forces project that conducted America’s secret war against the Communist forces on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Shrouded in mystery and equipped with exotic weaponry, SOG operators suffered casualty rates in excess of 100 percent for three successive years.

Inside our military is a team of operators whose work is so secretive that the name of the unit itself is classified. Highly-trained in warfare, self-defense, infiltration, and deep surveillance, "the Unit," as the Department of Defense has asked us to refer to it, has been responsible for preventing dozens of terrorist attacks in the Western world. Never before has a member of this unit shared their story — until now.

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett faces two different kinds of raging beasts—one animal, one human—in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Times bestseller C. J. Box. A rogue grizzly bear has gone on a rampage—killing, among others, the potential fiancé of Joe’s daughter. At the same time, Dallas Cates, whom Joe helped lock up years ago, is released from prison with a special list tattooed on his skin. He wants revenge on the people who sent him away: the six people he blames for the deaths of his entire family and the loss of his reputation and property.

Woodward, the number-one international bestselling author of Fear: Trump in the White House, has uncovered the precise moment the president was warned that the Covid-19 epidemic would be the biggest national security threat to his presidency. In dramatic detail, Woodward takes readers into the Oval Office as Trump’s head pops up when he is told in January 2020 that the pandemic could reach the scale of the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed 675,000 Americans.

I totally enjoyed the storytelling. Obviously it is all backed by recorded interviews. Difficult day to finish the book. History in the making on this November 3rd! Thank you to Mr Woodward for his efforts.

Armored cars, burner phones, top-notch weaponry, and top-secret missions - this is the life of today's private military contractor. Like author Simon Chase, many PMCs were once the world's top military operatives, and since retiring from outfits like US Navy SEAL TEAM Six and the UK's Special Boat Service, they have devoted their lives to executing missions too sensitive for the government to acknowledge. Chase reveals here for the first time the operations too hazardous and politically volatile to be officially sanctioned by his employers.

Not a true story...this is a novel.
Revisado: 08-02-17
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
You don't have to be a member of the SO community to know this is a work of fiction.
What could Simon Chase and Ralph Pezzullo have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Told the truth.
Would you be willing to try another one of Eric Brooks’s performances?
NO
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Some portions of the story are interesting but once you figure out it is not a true story it is hard to get past the feeling of being cheated.
Any additional comments?
Hard to believe that audible lets this continue to be sold as a true story.

Here are thrilling, never-before-heard stories of the Army's elite aviation unit - the most daring and professional helicopter crews in the world. Special Operations pilots are notoriously reticent; they don't talk about their missions, at least not to anyone outside their small community. But now, with the publication of The Night Stalkers, Durant and Steven Hartov shed a fascinating light on these mysterious super commandos and take readers into a world they have only imagined.

From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head.

Absolutely the best story
Revisado: 10-01-13
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The best story of the people, the environment, the skills and the mental toughness of our modern day fighters. Absolutely would have loved to meet this young man and thank him for his service. What a loss!!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Chris Kyle himself IS a true American Hero. There are many others...many! But he did his job and then some without brag or boast. He appreciates his fellow fighters no matter what arm of the service they come from as long as they are there to fight and win.
Which character – as performed by John Pruden – was your favorite?
Again...Chris himself.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but could not.

"America had a secret weapon," writes Steve Call of the period immediately following September 11, 2001, as planners contemplated the invasion of Afghanistan. This weapon consisted of small teams of Special Forces operatives trained in close air support (CAS) who, in cooperation with the loose federation of Afghan rebels opposed to the Taliban regime, soon began achieving impressive - and unexpected - military victories over Taliban forces and the al-Qaeda terrorists they had sponsored....

Need a new Narrator
Revisado: 10-01-13
What would have made Danger Close: Tactical Air Controllers in Afghanistan and Iraq better?
A narrator with some feeling in his voice. Less political history and more stories of the actual air controller battle history. The narration was deadpan!
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
More battlefield action or technical explanation as to what it takes to bring various air assets on targets.
What didn’t you like about Claton Butcher’s performance?
Deadpan and monotonous
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I found some of the stories to be excellent. I just wish someone else would have told them.

Why we think it’s a great listen: An all-time Audible favorite that mixes historic fiction, adventure, and romance with one of the most fascinating literary devices: time travel. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love. In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. But their blissful reunion is shattered....

I am so delighted that you have finally added the Unabridged version of this book. For those of us who love Diana Gabaldon's books, the abridged versions leave a lot to be desired. Please, please, please add the others in her series in unabridged as well. Davina Porter is the perfect choice for narrator and the unabridged version is fabulous. Thanks again.
