About this listen
Newly minted Army Ranger Lieutenant Jack Grant joins a mission to take down the Taliban’s elite sniper, but things go wrong from the start.
The enemy leads them into an ambush that leaves the Company at risk of total annihilation. Grant counterattacks with his small Ranger unit and turns defeat into victory.
Yet the victory is short-lived, for he finds himself under close arrest following a trumped-up charge. His career is over, and he faces a long term of imprisonment. There is nothing he can do to put things right from a prison cell. But there is much he can do if he escapes. Like hunting down and killing the lethal sniper Haji Gul, a man still at large who threatens the lives of American troops. He is thought to be a personal friend of Mullah Omar and an ally of America’s number one target, Osama bin Laden. Good enough reasons to take him down.
There can only be a single outcome. Either Gul will die - or Grant will. Special Operations: Grant’s Counterattack is an incredible story of tough, violent men fighting in war-torn Afghanistan. The harshest, most hostile environment on Earth.
A full-length novel by the best-selling author of many Spec Ops books. These include the popular SEAL Team Bravo stories Heroes of Afghanistan, Raider, Echo Six, and Devil's Guard titles.

US Army Warrant Officer Carl Yeager, on his second tour of Vietnam, reaches Khe Sanh in late January 1968. His mission is to arrest an ARVN officer, guilty of murder and selling stolen weapons to the Vietcong. Things start to go wrong when the aircraft on which is due to fly back with the prisoner to Tan Son Nhut, outside Saigon, is destroyed by enemy shellfire. The shells do more than damage the aircraft. They uncover the body of an American officer in a hastily dug grave.

All three are run with an iron first by The Chief, a giant with a gigantic IQ. His top agent is Alex Mason, hard and cool – he's a law unto himself.

Held the storyline together and allowed us to invest even further into the characters.
yes there are some parts that if you understand military protocol will come across as hokey, what I can say is that it is a good story if you're wanting a fun get away for the genre.
Looking forward to the next book in the series.
