Vagabonds

Tourists in the Heart of Darkness

De: Nick Brokhausen, Jeff Miller

Narrado por: Andrew B. Wehrlen

A lot of confusion, a lot of humor, a lot of broken dreams and broken promises, an occasional triumph.

1978 - a chance meeting on a remote military airbase between two Green Berets involved in the same operation leads to a partnership that will last over 40 years. Four years after that meeting, Nick Brokhausen and Jeff Miller leave the service within a few weeks of each other and begin an odyssey that takes them to dozens of countries on five continents.

Along with a small coterie of fellow former Special Operations and intelligence community veterans like Penguini, Max, Reek, The Spider Woman and a score of others - some heroes and some villains - they undertake a variety of missions for the government, other governments, large multinational corporations mostly in the aerospace or resource development industries, and occasionally just for suffering individuals who cannot find help anywhere else. In the process, they lay the groundwork for an entire new industry of private military contractors. Two men sadly just a bit ahead of their time.

Interesting stories

I think Uncle Nick could have made several books out of this one if he would have been more detailed on the stuff they were pulling. Narrator was good, the one from the first two books should have done this one. Who knows the reason why he didn’t. Uncle Nick knows.

Hilarious and wonderful!

A special forces version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I just want to know when there will be more!?!

Superb!

After listening to We Few and Whispers in the Tall Grass I wanted more. Vagabonds was terrific! The stories are exciting, incredible, fascinating, and much more. Nick Brockhausen and his compatriot Jeff Miller have entertained me to no end. Well done.

Brokhausen at his best.

Google Nick Brokhausen and listen to a few interviews. Go to SOGcast and listen to his episode. Even better listen to his first two books and then get this one. Context is everything. You get his same with this book but the landscape changes considerably. What’s a battle hardened warrior to do when there is no war going on? What damages do they live with? What fun will they have? It’s all here.

they don't make them like that anymore

Perfect narration for this type of story. It's a smooth cadence for a bumpy ride.
