Everything he learned to protect the president, he must use to take out theirs. With an American president distracted by growing tensions in North Korea and Iran, an ominous new threat is emerging in Moscow. A czar is rising in the Kremlin, a Russian president feverishly consolidating power, silencing his opposition, and plotting a brazen and lightning-fast military strike that could rupture the NATO alliance and bring Washington and Moscow to the brink of nuclear war. But in his blind spot is the former U.S. Secret Service agent, Marcus Ryker.

"The Activity," as it became known to insiders, has achieved near-mythical status, even among the world's Special Operations elite.

Story4 out of 5 stars 18
US Special Operations Command trains and equips units to undertake select military activities, frequently high-risk missions, often for the purposes of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency. Since 9/11, impelled by an attack on US soil, these forces have been a central instrument of America's military campaign - operating in about 100 countries on any given day. This fight - neither hot war nor cold peace - was launched and executed as a new type of global war in 2001 and has since splintered into a spectrum of regional conflicts.

One decision can end everything...or lead to unlikely redemption. Millions watched the CBS 60 Minutes special on Jack Barsky in 2015. Now, in this fascinating memoir, the Soviet KGB agent tells his story of gut-wrenching choices, appalling betrayals, his turbulent inner world, and the secret life he lived for years without getting caught.

Great insight how the "Dark World"
Actually works..or seems to work. Fred Burton also touches on the emotional toll of that type of work... A very moving ending of the book.

Excellent!
This is the best description of counter-terrorism that I have ever read or heard. The author deserves kudos for his memoir as well as his career.

How it looks from the inside
Any additional comments?
The writing is a little wooden and sometimes repetitive. But the book isn't supposed to be entertaining for it's literary style, it's fascinating for the inside perspective delivered personally by the author.
It's as if Fred is sitting in the living room over a bourbon telling you all about it. It's a truly personal "confession".
I really enjoyed it.

Outstanding, informative and precise
This book does an excellent job in terms of providing readers with a glance into the intelligence Road and the fight against terrorism worldwide, with its many complexities, successes, and failures. The amount of detail is excellent, and conclusions are based on facts and experiences as opposed to speculation. I look forward to reading more from the author.

The Real Deal
Awesome careerography narrated like a 40's private investigator tale. Once you get past the suspicious feeling that some dame in a long red dress is going to saunter into the storyline, the content takes over and you get to experience history from an amazing viewpoint.

Intriguing Book!
Captivating book and well written by the author. Get a behind the scenes look of a DSS agent and a broad overview of the threats facing our great nation. Narration was good and I’ll be looking for mor books read by this narrator. I give it 5 stars!

Excellent Read
I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's tough to turn it off and go to sleep, and when you do turn it off, you're likely to lay there thinking for a while. It can be very disturbing. I'm very grateful that we have these guys out there.
