Publisher's Summary
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.

What an amazing life.
I have now heard all of Nick Brokhausen's books through Audible. As an ex Australian combat medic trained infantry, then caught up in the world of our own SOG for over two decades from the late 80's to 2003, I was emersed in his world from the first book's beginning to the last words in this last book. I am sure that all men who have had the experiences of similar threats will understand and also, no doubt, feel the same. In a very rare way, it has become such that I feel like I have shared in his experiences and was with him, that I know him on a personal level and yet... He is of the generation of men that trained me and prepared me for the next series of political f#*k ups that we participate in. His ability to recall so much is staggering to the imagination of this individual. I have trouble remembering events in the last 18 years, but before that I am good to go. The change of Narrator threw me a little, I had listened to each book in order, one after the other and had grown used to hearing the sound of Nick as the voice used in his SVN days Lol. I often wondered as I listened, with all that globe trotting... did they have frequent flyer points back then 🤔. There is so much I would like say on a personal level to Nick, but the most important thing is how much I Respect him, I am grateful to him and I wish him every success no matter if he retires or runs another venture. Just record it vocally each day, the next book will be loved by people like me and you. Those who are considering this book, I can only say that it does stand alone as a good book, but if you really want to know the whole story, then read all Nick Brokhausen's books in chronological order. You will not regret it.

Worst Narration
Worst narration ever, I don’t think the narrator knows how to read to many pauses, don’t listen if you’re expecting the same as the other books
