Man of War

An Eric Steele Novel

By: Sean Parnell

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

""Fast, hard, and effortlessly authentic—both lead character Eric Steele and author Sean Parnell are the real deal.""—Lee Child

""An exciting, action-packed debut! Bristling with intrigue, deceit, power, and treason—once you pick this book up, you will NOT be able to put it down. Sean Parnell has knocked it out of the park!""—Brad Thor

The New York Times bestselling author of Outlaw Platoon makes his fiction debut with this electrifying military thriller—a gripping tale of action, suspense, and international intrigue that introduces a compelling new hero, Eric Steele.

Eric Steele is the best of the best—an Alpha—an elite clandestine operative assigned to a US intelligence unit known simply as the ""Program."" A superbly trained Special Forces soldier who served several tours fighting radical Islamic militants in Afghanistan, Steele now operates under the radar, using a deadly combination of espionage and brute strength to root out his enemies and neutralize them.

But when a man from Steele’s past attacks a military convoy and steals a nuclear weapon, Steele and his superiors at the White House are blindsided. Moving from Washington, DC, to the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, Steele must use his considerable skills to hunt this rogue agent, a former brother-in-arms who might have been a friend, and find the WMD before it can reach the United States—and the world is forever changed.

Great start to a series

Excellent story and action. Fantastic narration. If you like stories that move fast with plenty of action , this is the series for you.

good first novel

decent story, I've got book 2 in the queue hoping there's more character development and back story. at this point, I didnt find myself getting overly invested in the hero. I'm sure this author will continue to grow and improve in his ability and style. I do recommend the book if you like action, adventure, and black ops books. give it a go. narrator is excellent.

Good listen

Enjoyable book, especially with RC Bray’s narration. Not the most unique storyline, but still good.

Packed with action and deception

An Excellent storyline with plenty of action and deception. (Hatred between political groups, government agencies, and ex co-workers with enough romance to keep it believable.)At first, the narration was hard to handle and I almost stopped listening but either the narrator got better or I got used to his way of narration. Choppy statements and emphasis in the narration caused the book to be difficult to follow in the first few chapters.

Overall, an excellent start for Sean Parnell and Eric Steele.

Simile

Wow. I don’t think I have heard the word “like” used this much since since visiting a college campus. The story started slowly, but got more interesting. It was really difficult to listen to so many rapid-fire, tired, cliche similes throughout, however. I think the writer has the potential to become very good, and would like to offer this as constructive criticism.
