Don't put this too high on your priority list, tho it is good its far from great. Im not upset with my purchase.

There is no doubt Queen did an amazing piece of undercover work. I researched some old news articles after reading the book, which supported all his claims. However, the writing is overly dramatic and often contradictory. As an example, in one paragraph Queen gushes about how impenetrable the OMG (Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs) are then a couple paragraphs later he cites the plethora of law enforcement agents that have infiltrated various clubs. Also, Queen did little to accurately portray firearms. When he ominously described one biker secreting a North American Arms (NAA) .22 revolver on his ride, he did not convey the fact that this is about the most useless firearm you'll ever come across. He did nothing to point out the inadequacies of other firearms popular with members such as short barreled .38 revolvers.

Stop with the "breathless" narration. The narrator read every sentence as though it was the most incredible, scary thing in the world. Save the dramatic reading for the dramatic portions of the book. I barely made it through this book. The exaggerated narration and poor writing made it difficult to endure.

I see the execution of this book as an opportunity lost. Queen did incredible undercover work in an extremely dangerous situation. Unfortunately, the writing was not on par with the story.

The writing and delivery are excellent

I am reading/listening to Dead Biker right now...under and alone is similar but better

Excellent delivery

Great book!

Inside look at the clubs, the people, the structure and the crimes.

I had overall mixed feelings about this book and law enforcement as a whole.

We have quite alot of trouble with bikie gangs here, so it was great to see inside one of these (mongols have only just moved to Aus which will cause tension with very violent existing gangs), however i was somewhat struck by the ATFs intention in some cases to avoid involment in a crime (which i understand) but not to attempt to prevent the crime itself. An example of this was the 3 strippers that were the centre of a plan by the bikies.

I was also interested in the ability of officers to become corrupted through the indoctrination of the club, to view it as a brotherhood and almost be reluctant to testify.

Despite mixed emotions I am glad I read it, as it was as educational as it was a great yarn. I am glad that there are still those out there who can avoid corruption and stand up to do the right thing and sacrifice nearly their entire life in the process - definition of a hero.

Good historical documentation of the ATFs successful infiltration into the Mongol biker gang in California. I wonder if this wasn't the inspiration for "Sons of Anarchy" on FX. No doubt it was stressful for Mr. Queen, but some of the charges that they do end up filing seemed rather petty to me given all the hoopla-- minor weapons charges, etc hardly seem worth all of the effort and risk.....

Anyone with the slightest interest in law enforcement/undercover work will find this book incredible.

Phenomenal story.

Billie St John!

Incredible performance! Like it was the author. He became the author.

This book ranks incredible and Don Leslie brings it to life.

Billy St. John

I have not.

An excellent adventure told from the point of an ATF agent. He is very good at bringing you into the mindset of an undercover agent.

The performance was great driven by the real life drama of an undercover federal agent. Just great!

Yes - it's hard not to be on the edge of your seat when every situation has the possibility of blowing this guys cover in the company of people who wouldn't let him live.
