Staff Sergeant Bea “Mic” Michaels is the leader of Steel Corps, an elite group of the finest men in the American armed forces. Commissioned by the US government to do what other units cannot, existing both above and outside the law.
A new recruit, Corporal Chris Jordon, has just been delivered, but before he can call himself Steel, he must pass every physical and mental test Mic throws at him. Orders for a mission have come down, and Mic must train Jordon faster than ever.
Their team is thrown into a desperate mission to rescue an undercover operative in the heart of Colombia. Forced to take down the head of the Fernando cartel and the mysterious Frenchie, their mission is complicated when Mic and Jordon are lost to their team.
Digging deep within herself, Mic will need every ounce of her strength to save both her team and herself.

Length: 8 hours and 40 minutes (Unabridged)
This is the first in a four-book series regarding the military adventures of Staff Sergeant Michaels and “Steel Corps”; a specialized covert operations team tasked with missions that require her team to exercise outside of the national and international legal system and treaties. In this inaugural title, we learn a lot about “Mic” and her team members; how they operate; a brief history of the Steel Core; and the internal relationships necessary to ensure the team operates at peak capacity. The team is quickly forced into a situation regarding the extraction of a highly prized “mole” working deep within a drug cartel. This mission turns out to be difficult testing the oaths that bind each other, as well as, their veracity in service to their country.
The narrator, Addison Barnes, is a great reader and narrator capable of creating tension during the action, as well as, adding varied and nuanced emotions when the characters, especially the protagonist, is angry, annoyed, excited, bantering, etc. Barnes is the perfect reader for this series and hoping she will finish out the series. (NOTE: I am currently listening to Steel Book Two read by Barnes and continues to shine!)
Personally, I enjoy these military action stories and Havens is good writer creating believable scenarios, as well as, offering insight regarding “Mic” and the various team members. However, this is not a military simulation book therefore expect less Tom Clancy and more the “Hollywood” military. I also find the characters approachable and realistic and Havens creates a strong female warrior.
I recommend this audible book to anyone who enjoys military action but looking for something different due to the strong and well thought out female lead protagonist.
