This book was very interesting; co-author Mark Owen takes
you inside his head to a place you could never imagine. After further research I found that Mark Owen
is a pseudonym his real name is Matt Bissonnettea, he co wrote the book with
Kevin Maurer. Matt Bissonnettea got in trouble for publishing the book. To me, the most important part of this book is
that Mr. Owen will try to kill Osama bin Laden. The reason this book was to
allow to be published it demonstrated to the public the point of view from the killer
of the highly wanted Osama bin Laden, not the point of view from the news
reporters. He tells you how intensive the trainings are, and how explosive or
powerful the guns can be. If you like action packed, and adventure for a theme,
this book is for you, you are sure to enjoy.
“As we got to the village, the teams started to peel off to
their predetermined targets. I led my
team to our target building. Creeping up
to the gate, I tried the handle. The
heavy black iron door creaked open.
Pushing it just wide enough to see in”… (Owen73). That was a suspenseful
part of the book; Mark explains how he entered one of his first missions being
point man. As the story goes on the reader learns how the powerful guns were
helpful during the tough mission, the push from the recoil carves into his
shoulder, like a hammer that has been beaten on his arm. Mark and his seals were extremely physically
fit, they had been put through a variety of POD trainings; these trainings were
not limited to push up’s, pull up’s, swimming, running long distances, jumping
from air planes, climbing, and shooting in all weather conditions. Traveling from the top of the Himalayas
through the rocky roads of Iraq, they are working to reach their final mission
of killing Osama. This intense book does not stop until the final page of 301,
Their final mission, and Mark again at point man, leading his team of seals to
find Osama bin Laden. If you want to
find out how he did, read it!!!!
The book was great; it is action packed, and very hard to
put down. I loved the book from the first page. I hope you have time to read it because it is
worth every minute of your time. I would
rate it a 9.5 out of 10, it is that good.
