Volám sa Marcus Luttrell, príslušník amerických Navy SEAL a veliteľ tímu SDV Tím 1, čata Alfa. Som vycvičený v používaní zbraní, demoláciách a boji bez zbrane. Ako Američan som pripravený bojovať za svoju krajinu a tím až do posledného dychu. Porážka je pre mňa neprijateľná a verím v neporaziteľnosť, ktorá je typická pre elitných bojovníkov. Sme rýchli, dobre vycvičení a nenápadní, majstri stratégie a profesionálni ostrostrelci. Naše operácie prebiehajú na mori, vo vzduchu a na súši. V lete 2005 som sa zúčastnil neúspešnej vojenskej operácie Redwing v Afganistane, kde sme sa snažili zajať nebezpečného teroristického vodcu. Operácia sa skončila tragédiou, keď z našich štyroch členov prežil len autor, pričom pri pokuse o záchranu zahynulo ďalších šestnásť vojakov. V knihe podávam svedectvo o boji proti terorizmu z prvej línie, opisujem dramatické chvíle pod paľbou talibancov a svoj zúfalý boj o prežitie. Zdieľam aj svoje detstvo v Texase a dôvody, prečo som sa rozhodol vstúpiť do vojenského námorníctva. Tento príbeh oslavuje hrdinstvo, odvážne priateľstvo a nezlomný tímový duch. Knihu som napísal s Patrickom Robinsonom, autorom románov z prostredia námorníctva.
