Audie Award Nominee, Inspirational Nonfiction, 2013

Fearless takes you deep into SEAL Team SIX and straight to the heart of one of its most legendary operators.

When Navy SEAL Adam Brown woke up on March 17, 2010, he didn’t know he would die that night in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan - but he was ready: In a letter to his children, not meant to be seen unless the worst happened, he wrote, “I’m not afraid of anything that might happen to me on this earth, because I know no matter what, nothing can take my spirit from me.”

Long before Adam Brown became a member of the elite SEAL Team SIX - the counterterrorism unit that took down Osama bin Laden - he was a fun-loving country boy from Hot Springs, Arkansas, whose greatest goal had been to wear his high school’s football jersey. An undersized daredevil, prone to jumping off roofs into trees and off bridges into lakes, Adam was a kid who broke his own bones but would never break a promise to his parents.

But after high school, Adam fell in with the wrong crowd, and his family watched as his appetite for risk dragged him into a downward spiral that eventually landed him in jail. Battling his inner demons on a last-chance road to redemption, Adam had one goal: to become the best of the best - a US Navy SEAL.

An absorbing chronicle of heroism and humanity, Fearless presents an indelible portrait of a highly trained warrior who would enter a village with weapons in hand to hunt terrorists, only to come back the next day with an armload of shoes and meals for local children. It is a deeply personal, revealing glimpse inside the SEAL Team SIX brotherhood that also shows how these elite operators live out the rest of their lives, away from danger, as husbands, fathers and friends.

Fearless is the story of a man of extremes, whose courage and determination was fueled by faith, family, and the love of a woman. It’s about a man who waged a war against his own worst impulses and persevered to reach the top tier of the US military. Always the first to volunteer for the most dangerous assignments, Adam’s final act of bravery led to the ultimate sacrifice.

Adam Brown was a devoted man who was an unlikely hero but a true warrior, described by all who knew him as fearless.

Should be required reading.

The writing and narration were equally superb and we haven’t been moved by a true story like this in years. Even if you don’t normally read military stories or biographies, you need to listen to Adam Brown’s life. It will change you. God bless you, Kelly, Nathan, and Savannah.

What a great read!

I couldn’t stop listening. I knew how it would end and I still cried for the last hour of this book. Thank you Eric for how well written this is. God bless the troops!

What a Life

It was hard to listen to this at work without choking back tears. It was hard not to listen to it.

Wow!

This is the first book that I have not turned off, to be finished the next day at work, which is when I normally listen. After being home from work for over two hours, I just could not stop listening to the story of this man, not only he’s defaults, but especially he’s drive to over come them. I could honestly see and feel the words in this book, as if and even more then if I had been watching a movie. Thanks to your book, this man, this SEAL, is still touching people still! To the Browns family as a former Marine.... they say The streets of haven are guarded by United States Marines.... I can only hope that men like Adam are sending rounds down range to cover our butts when needed. With that said, I am so sorry for your loss and hope, no prey that you are all well. Amazing man. Amazing sorry!

Riveting

I was introduced to this book by a law enforcement type... had a profound impact on him. I'm not a strong reader, but this book was hard to put down. The events of this book take place shortly before Seal Team Six deal with Osama bin Laden.

Don’t Miss This Book

I’ve listened to many books and this one was by far the best. If you pass by this book without reading/listening you will regret it.

this book is amazing

The author did a great job with this biography. The narrarator did an awesome job. I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this book, but I have to say it has been one of my favorites.

love it!

it's a good pick me up when you're feeling down. this is a geart example of what every American should try to be!

Great read

Grown man teared up a few different times when listening to this. it is fantastic!

Redemption

A beautiful story of the grace of God our Savior, in redeeming the seemingly, by human standards, unredeemable.
The love of God never ceases to amaze me. I'm reminded of the lyrics to the song:
"Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portals He's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, "O sinner come home"
O for the wonderful love He has promised
Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me"
