      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.

      America, Britain, and Russia are drawn into a battle for a gigantic oil strike on the desolate Falkland Islands in Patrick Robinson's newest international thriller. The year is 2011, and Russia is poised to help Argentina blast its way into the Falkland Islands, to hurl the ruling British out of the South Atlantic forever. Enraged at this act of international piracy, Great Britain dispatches a battle fleet to the islands for the second time in thirty years. Little do they realize that Russia's lethal Akula-class submarine, Viper 157 , stuffed to the gunwales with ship-killing torpedoes, lies in wait for the Royal Navy aircraft carrier, which is transporting the British fighter-bomber air force. The United States, under the indomitable Admiral Arnold Morgan's stern eye, unleashes Navy SEALs to hammer Argentina into submission, and in two breathtaking, clandestine missions, they smash their most expensive hardware—guided-missile warships and an entire fighter aircraft strike group. The SEALs must make a death-defying parachute drop into the freezing ocean, hit the battlefield in total secret, and obliterate their enemy—all in lethal silence . . . a ruthless, terrible attack carried out by a U.S. ghost force. . . . This is classic Patrick Robinson—spine-tingling suspense, harrowing action, and intricately researched detail, all set against the backdrop of an uncanny "what if?" scenario.
