The year is now. Islamist terrorists hack into America's defense networks, launch chemical weapons attacks on Western cities, and stage a raid on nuclear storage facilities in Pakistan. They are using a massively multiplayer online video game as a platform for planning and rehearsing their attacks - forcing a squad of supremely elite Delta Force operators to go inside the game to fight them. These weapons, tactics, tech, and 21st-century warriors will be unlike anything you've ever heard of before.

Hidious narrator!!!!!!!!!!

Narration is rough
Reviewed: 01-28-23
This narrator has no character. He does not differentiate between different characters very much and that makes the dialog confusing and hard to follow.

On his last combat deployment, Lt. Cmdr. James Reece's entire team was killed in an ambush that also claimed the lives of the aircrew sent in to rescue them. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government. Now, with no family and free from the military's command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he's learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward revenge.

First, let me start by saying this was enjoyable. Ray Porter is one of my favorites from his work on the Don Winslow Boarder Lord series and is great again here, the main reason for the lower story raising is that while listening to this, I was also watching Netflix’s The Punisher, and I realized that the Protagonist here is basically Frank Castle. A man who’s lost his family and falls back on his skills of warfare to “Punish” those responsible.
I’m going to give the series a chance, mostly because of Ray Porter

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 344
The term Mexican Drug War misleads. It implies that the ongoing bloodbath, which has now killed well over 100,000 people, is an internal Mexican affair. But this diverts attention from the US role in creating and sustaining the carnage. It's not just that Americans buy drugs from and sell weapons to Mexico's murderous cartels. It's that ever since the US prohibited the use and sale of drugs in the early 1900s, it has pressured Mexico into acting as its border enforcer - with increasingly deadly consequences.

Very detailed
Reviewed: 03-13-20
This is a great, albeit brief, history of the Mexican war on drugs. Detailed through the political climate in Mexico and US influence on Mexico, it tells the story of why and how. But I do recommend that the reader or listener have some background information on the Marco situation in Mexico as a lot of names and dates are thrown around and can be confusing.

All the action, none of the politics

What did you love best about Black Site?
Having been a Special Forces Operator, Dalton Fury blurs the line between fiction and non-fiction. The action never lets you down and the story keeps the heart pumping. Where some similar authors delve too deep into politics, Fury touches upon the complications between the politically correct way to fight a war and the way wars are actually fought, but then gets right back into the action.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Black Site?
After I was done, I felt like I had been reading about Colt, T.J. and the Delta Force team as long as I have Mitch Rapp. I feel like the characters are based upon people I know from my time spent in
What does Ari Fliakos bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?
Although he doesn't change the voices between characters as well as some of the best narrators, he does a great job relaying the urgency and attitude of the situation. Ari sounds like a
