I wasn’t quite sure what to expect and in fact after I read the first date, I went back to the book description because I thought it was a typo. Realizing it wasn’t I went back in and really enjoyed the book. Bit of a cliffhanger at the end, but that’s all well and good. It’s a good mix of military action which I enjoy and Sci-fi which I usually enjoy. Only if its military Sci-fi. Not sure why I didn’t just call it that, but that’s what it is and I think it was executed.really well. I’d very likely read.more.from the author, a swabbie, but like a good soldier I didn’t hold that against him. Well, not too much. 😉

Years later, he earns his spot at BUD/S training, enduring the relentless cold, crushing exhaustion, and psychological warfare designed to break all but the best.
But when a devastating injury ends his SEAL dream, Nathan is forced to reinvent himself. With his military career in ruins, he spirals into self-doubt—until a new path emerges in the unlikeliest of places.
