Description In Favor Of Books Black Site (Delta Force #1)
From former Delta Force commander and New York Times bestselling author of Kill Bin Laden comes the first novel in an explosive new series.After September 11, 2001, Delta Force troop commander Dalton Fury was given the secret mission to hunt down and kill the most wanted man in the world, the details of which were recounted in his extraordinary New York Times bestseller Kill Bin Laden. Now, Fury draws upon his hard-won combat experience ”and his gift for true-to-life storytelling” to offer a brand-new series of thrillers that are as close to reality as readers can get.
Meet Kolt Raynor. A Delta Force operator and one-time American hero, he is still trying to make sense of his life ”and duty” after a secret mission gone bad. Three years ago, in the mountains of Pakistan, Raynor made a split-second decision to disobey orders ”one that got some of his teammates killed and the rest captured. Now he's been given a second chance to do right by his country, his men, and himself. But Raynor's shot at redemption comes at a price.
A shadowy group of former colleagues has asked Raynor to return, alone, to Pakistan's badlands. His assignment seems clear: find his missing men and bring them home. What Raynor never expected was to uncover a sinister al Qaeda plot to capture a Black Site--a secret U.S. prison--and destabilize the region. Meanwhile, a ruthless, unknown enemy is on his trail…and he will stop at nothing to make sure that Raynor's mission is not accomplished.
An intense, gritty work of edge-of-your-seat suspense, Black Site is the first of what promises to be one of the most exciting fiction series of the new millennium.

Motivational readingAfraid you don't have what it takes to be a Special Forces hero? Not to worry. Any overweight, washed up alcoholic with a bad back and an attitude problem can do it! Heck, it only takes a month of training! No matter if more friends than enemies die. Who's counting?What happens when a washed-up (due to bad judgment and lack of discipline) former Delta operator gets a second chance on what looks like a suicide mission? A lot of technically-informed action happens. Of its kind, the book is top shelf.
Okay....good book if you like military action. There are some flaws, there are some cliches but over all a good read, as you can probably tell from the "4 star" rating.Kolt is the quintessential "think for yourself" leader in Delta. Sadly he makes a decision that leads to a disaster (not really his fault, but definitely his responsibility) and it gets him cashiered from "the unit".He then basically destructs, he crawls into a bottle. He can't hold a job, he stays in the trailer he and his best
Yes, I admit there were times when my attention waned but this deserves a review and I hope I give justice to it.The suspense didn't let up, there were lots of gunfire, death, military black ops stuff that would give a fanboy a hard on.This one is open-ended given that this is the first in the series. I'm definitely going to go over the next books when I'm in the mood for some action and plot twists.
This is a new author to me in the realm of special forces action thriller novels. It was written by a former delta operator and the character is loosely based on a conglomeration of real people, and so the book has a credible feel of someone who had bend there and done that. The character has his flaws, and perhaps is a little too much of a cowboy for reality, but it is not over the top. I will certainly be following this series with eager interest.
It's OK but lacks the quality and details of Andy McNab or Chris Ryan books. The character development is a bit weak. Generally Delta Force subject books are weaker and lack the technical details compared to their SAS counterparts, not sure because of the extra secrecy or just simply the American writers are worse. Skip it. The non-fiction Kill Bin Laden is definitely worth a read though.
The introduction to this novel and washed out Delta Force Operator, Kolt Raynor (Racer) needs no further intel for the reader, or else it would ruin the intrigue. What I can say is that I enjoyed the almost minute-by-minute play of the suicide mission Racer is inserted into, to rescue his Delta Elite pals who were captured, three years prior, while trying to rescue Racer and his unit on a different mission. The red herrings and strategic plans of the mission goes beyond a rescue. It was
