Summary
The War on Terror provides the backdrop for the thriller that introduces the roots of ultimate antihero, Max Ahlgren.
Captain Max Ahlgren is proud to be one of the first team commanders in the Marine Corps’ nascent MARSOC detachment. Finally, the Corps’ elite warriors are working alongside those of other branches, battling insurgents, not on the front lines but behind them.
After his first mission, however, Max learns he will be replaced as team commander. The new commander, Major Whitbeck, comes from 8th and I: Marine Barracks, Washington DC. His late father, a revered general, died in a terrorist car bombing. The commander is in Afghanistan for vengeance - and redemption. When the team infiltrates the ancient desert fortress of Kazindrak, hunting an elusive Al-Qaeda terrorist, Whitbeck reveals his ineptitude in combat.
Max’s fury grows as the body count rises. When the actual nature of the mission is revealed, Max gets a good look at the sordid underbelly of the War on Terror and sees firsthand what monsters men can become. If he is to survive, however, he may have no choice but to become one. Sometimes the greatest enemy is within.

Enjoyable
A enjoyable novella that offers a back ground and character setting story into Max Ahlgren, which then set tone for the rest of the series. The Narrator - Jeffrey Kafer implements a goof job, but I did struggle from time to time listening to him as it’s hard to differentiate his Narrating voice from his Characters impersonation voices as at times they sound the same, which makes it sound like all one long dialogue. Would like to hear a few more special effects in the production to help break this up to prevent from switching off.

A great short story full of action and action. One
A truely memorable story as I've been there and far to often incompetent officers are sent to lead veteran combat soldiers. A really good listen.

Narration ruins it
The narrator ruined this one for me. He has an annoying manner of finishing his sentences which became so distracting that I could not get to the end of the story.
