Diamondhead

De: Patrick Robinson

Narrado por: Charles Leggett

When Navy SEAL Mack Bedford's fellow officers are brutally killed by Iraqi insurgents using a cruel, new anti-tank Diamondhead missile, Mack avenges their murders by gunning down the then-unarmed attackers, ultimately getting himself court-martialed and kicked out of the Navy. To make matters worse, Mack then learns that the Diamondhead missiles were sold illegally by French industrialist and infamous politician Henri Foche. Mack believes Foche will become the next French President, and fears that his election will result in the cancellation of all navy-ship purchases from the United States, and thus protect French interests in the Diamondhead. End result: doom for Mack's hometown shipbuilding yard and the spread of international terrorism.©2009 Patrick Robinson (P)2009 BBC Audio

Navy Seals

Total action from the beginning. Being a Navy veteran, I could relate to a lot of the novel but most in envy of what Matt accomplished albeit fiction but made so believable through the authors hand. It really ended with the old saying of what goes around, comes around and justice was served to a devil that got his comeuppance.

Justifying

The right thing had to be done. It was, and the tale is believable. Loved the book.

EXCELLENT.

If I could give both the story itself and the reading 6 stars I would

well done

Great performance, great character development, knowledge about Seal Training and doctrine. Well narrated, Very good fun read.

Good story with a few discrepancies

A little Long winded to begin with Which makes the beginning of the book difficult to get into. There are a few discrepancies present during the telling of the story that bother me somewhat. Usually seals are not associated with riding in tanks . There is a constant mention of revolver and magazines. Pistols have magazines not revolvers. Distinction should be made. Sidewinder missiles are air to air missiles not air-to-ground. They should have been Maverick missiles.
Also first cellphone call was with personal phone. Editor needs to be more careful.

Overall remainder of story has good flow.
Exciting in last few hours making it a worthwhile read.
