Publisher's summary

The Navy SEALs have been fighting terrorists around the world for over a decade. And for all that time, the Bandito Platoon SEALS from SEAL Team Seven have been on continuous combat rotation. Now they have drawn a shipboard assignment off Central America - an easy day.

But for a Navy SEAL, the only easy day was yesterday.

In a powerful story of global anti-terrorism inspired by real life missions, Act of Valor combines stunning combat scenes, up-to-the-minute battlefield technology, and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate action adventure.

Act of Valor takes you deep into the secretive world of today’s most elite, highly trained group of warriors. When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plot against the United States, a team of SEALs is dispatched on a worldwide manhunt. As the men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that could kill and wound thousands of American civilians, they must balance their commitments to country, team, and their families back home.

But each time they accomplish their mission, a new piece of intelligence reveals another shocking twist to the plot, which stretches from Chechnya to the Philippines and from Ukraine to Somalia. The widening operation sends the SEALs across the globe as they track the terrorist ring to the U.S.-Mexico border - where they engage in an epic firefight with potentially unimaginable consequences for America…

Great Book

Keep listening. Slow to develop but keep listening. Inside take on the Navy Seals and how hard they work. Great book and you will not be dissatisfied.

Of all the Tom Clancy books I've read...

This is the one that left me speechless. THANK you, Audible. THANK you very much.

Good story but not great too much detail

This is a good story bit too much useless detail. I notice that a number of recent Tom Clancey books spend way too much rime lauding praise on the seal team and describing minute details of weapons and other things. it could have provided more personal development of the antagonist.

Great picture of the life

I've seen some of the negative reviews which took me by surprise. Then again, having lived as a military wife with a deep love and respect for our country I realize my perspective is going to be maybe a little lopsided. The men and women who give all and everything for our country are a bit of a different breed. Certainly not perfect but I hate to think where we'd be without them.

Although I am only related to the Navy branch through family members and "served my time" under a different branch, I've never really differentiated one from the other. To me they're all one big corporation where each department serves a vital function.

So I found this story intensely interesting to gain a little insight as to how other families lived and loved and braved their way through deployments. I appreciated an account from a personal perspective and enjoyed every moment of the listen.

Impressive novel.

A very memorable story, filled with action and dangerous adventures. Do not miss this one.

Great Story

Been a Tom Clancy fan since early 1990’s. I’m a retired Navy Chief and Hospital Corpsman I always loved reading his books. This was a great story and shows how the process goes to get the bad guy.
The narrator was good and kept my attention. My only problem is how many narrators don’t say Hospital Corpsman correctly. I have heard Navy Medic(so wrong), Corpse man and in this narration Coresman. It is pronounced Coreman.
As a Hospital Corpsman for 20 years it gets to me when pronounced incorrectly when the entire story is going so well.

Exceptional

Well written and well performed. Men of honor on full display. Great listen and eventful ending.

unusual, personal side of warriors

one of the best. ymmv but I loved the intricate details, fast pace and getting to see personal and family side of these elite warriors.
