From the coauthor of Chris Kyles 1 New York Times bestseller, American Sniper In direct defiance of the presidents orders, Navy Master Chief Gil Shannon, one of Americas most lethal SEAL snipers, launches a bold mission comprised of SEAL Team Six and Delta Force fighters to free a captured female helicopter pilot being held by Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan. The president is afraid a botched rescue could jeopardize US foreign policy as well as end his presidency. But once the special ops community learns that one of their own—the first female helicopter pilot of the Armys elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment SOAR—is being held and brutally mistreated, there is no executive order strong enough to stop them from attempting to rescue her.
