If what this author writes is anywhere close to reality I am seriously in doubt of Americas ability to work. I have read many actual accounts of actual operations over the years. To think the main character Kealy is even close to reality of our best line of defense or offense makes me sick. Maybe it stems from the fact that Vince Flynn' Mitch Rapp is much more believable. Over the course of the four books I find many items that just don't make sense let alone common sense. Such as sending someone to hunt terrorists in Pakistan with no weapon. Or letting an operative that is mentally broken into the field while addicted to drugs. Kealy makes so many mistakes that killing him would be easy let alone sending him into countries he has zero language skills for.once you get past these flaws the action and writing is top notch all the books are a good read. But it does take a bit of a stretch of the mind and can be frustrating to read. Especially how caught up Kealy is with his love life and how distracted he is by it. In reality if he's that side tracked and easily manipulated he would be dead at times his situational awareness is zero.
