Publisher's summary

One in three will experience a significant trauma in their life. Brilliantly read by author and army Apache pilot Lt. Col. Brian L. Slade, experience the war from the cockpit as he shares his experience with trauma in Afghanistan.

Offering a unique perspective on preparing one's mind for trauma, Cleared Hot is intense, instructive, humorous, and brutally honest. This book puts readers in the cockpit of the most lethal helicopter in the world as Slade learns on the job, combating a tenacious enemy against all odds in the most challenging environment imaginable.

In what General David Petraeus is calling "a heck of a ride," Slade navigates the ugliness of combat while working to preserve a difficult marriage to a wife suffering from mental illness. Witness the challenges that taught him universal lessons on resilience and coping, and how they equipped him to think fast under pressure and maneuver through a curtain of enemy fire that crippled his aircraft and wounded his copilot, ultimately earning him the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Cleared Hot offers listeners an exhilarating ride while giving them tools they can use to survive the traumas of their own lives.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Engaging and inspiring!

Slades humor, emotion and vulnerability allow the listener to get to know him and thus the story is even more engaging and entertaining. I even enjoyed the acknowledgments at the end. The science of resilience he shares can translate to anyone’s life and help improve it.
