About this listen

Who is fighting the war in Afghanistan? Did you know that 52% of people fighting in Afghanistan are contracted to do so? Contractors operate far beyond the borders of Afghanistan, they operate globally. Real people. Real missions. Real wars.

After the United States was attacked and the President vowed to search for and destroy the enemy, the government formed a secret unit comprised of civilians. Paid civilians. Contracted civilians. Many of these people left their jobs, families, and friends to voluntarily serve alongside their military brethren. They did it out of love, passion, and deep patriotism.

Declan Collins is one of those men. Just another patriot you have never heard of, working to keep America safe. A former member of the US Armed Forces trying to make it in the civilian world as a newlywed, Declan quickly found himself working for one of America's most secretive organizations. He fit the role of what they needed perfectly.

This novel is about what happened after Declan received a mysterious phone call, was paid and given two weeks to get into Afghanistan all the while placing his life on hold to preserve and protect America. Find out about the fighting force rarely ever spoken of, those who were Contracted: America's Secret Warriors.

The narration can be a little distracting as he pronounces every word so well and gives them their space between words. That sounds odd but consider that the English language is usually spoken with words blending here and there. The overall story is fantastic and doesn't have the overly macho characters usually found in books like this. The guys are just guys that happen to be doing a dangerous job. That's how they come across anyways.

Much better than I expected.
