Just finished two books today.

Thor, Brad - Scot Harvath 11 Black List (Armand Schultz) 64kb (2012) is a typical thriller that starts off Tommy Gun slow and switches to a MG-42 towards the end. Deals with the pervasive amount of scrutiny and intrusion into peoples personal lives - with the resulting consequences of such power being wielded by a malicious state or corporation.

Recommend that you be familiar with some of the previous Scot Harvath series and the new Athena Project novel by Brad Thor.


Owen, Mark - No Easy Day (2012) was an easy, quick read. Covers the mission to get UBL fairly well with some interesting SEAL side trips into Iraq and Afghanistan. There are obvious omissions as well as plenty of new stuff for this FOG. The only SEAL book to discuss training after BUD/S, let alone Green Team that I've seen to date. If any of it can be believed...

Recommend that you have read a book describing BUD/S before this.
