They are the most capable, committed, and indispensable counterterrorist operators in the world.
They have no rivals anywhere for skill, speed, ferocity, intelligence, flexibility, and sheer resolve.
Now one of them is the enemy.
Alpha team leader Sergeant Major Eric Rheinhardt is retiring from the Unit - hanging up his guns and jockeying a desk at the Pentagon. But just when he thought he was out, a ghost has emerged from his past (along with a lost love), dredging up a secret shame and past-due debt. Much worse, his old mentor and now nemesis Rod "the God" Tucker has turned up on the payroll of the messianic Iranian mullahs - training their proxy fighters in Hamas and Hezbollah, purchasing cyberwar talent and fissile material from the Chinese, and laying the groundwork for the fall of the Third Temple, the modern state of Israel.
The explosive collision of these two legendary operators will ultimately embroil Israeli special forces, Chinese hackers, squadrons of D-boys, Tier-1 SEAL teams, CIA paras, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, hyperskilled jihadis, and Iranian Revolutionary Guards - all in a no-holds-barred street fight for survival.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kevin Arthur Harper?
R.C. Bray or Lou Diamond PhillipsAny additional comments?
Michael Stephen Fuchs is a brilliant and talented author. As a veteran I can tell you that his level of military accuracy is a lot better than most authors.. you can tell that he puts due diligence into his research. Although the story itself is outstanding, the narration made it seem like one long whimsical joke that shouldn't be taken seriously. Kevin Harper, if I could make a suggestion please; although this book does contain some wit and banter, it is overall a serious book. This should have been read like 'The Good The Bad and The Ugly', not like 'Thundercats'. I would recommend that if you can't get behind a story and take it seriously, you might reject that narration job rather than creating a false perception for an otherwise outstanding book. Please take this with a respectful and constructive tone.Excellent book but not narrated with a serious ton

The narration was good with nice speed and changes for characters that felt right. The action scenes were fast and loaded with cool moves. The politics were a little lost on me sometimes, but I loved the strategic complexity on all sides, the computer hacking, the badass operators and the humor. It's a great bonus duo for Arisen fans and awesome all on its own.
Loved the Strategic Action

Counter-assault is all action, super-soldiers and impossible odds. But that is just how the D-Boys like it. If you are a military novel enthusiast, this will be right up your alley. There are lots of acronyms and weapons descriptions, military banter and enough testosterone to fill a fuel tanker.
It’s a fun listen, enough character development and back story to give the listener enough to make the action plausible. There are also brief dialogue interludes where the listener gets some philosophical lessons about the necessity of a strong military and the wrong headedness of Islamic dogma, while stressing that human beings all want the same things. The book doesn’t quite whack us over the head with it, but it creates a clear good vs. evil scenario.
The story is performed by Kevin Arthur Harper. His voice is pleasant enough, but drags the narrative somewhat. His characters are occasionally difficult to differentiate, confusing the listener a little at times. He is at his best when the action goes hot and all is forgiven. A good performance overall.
Counter-assault is book two in the D-Boys series but could be listened to independently. The main characters are still here, but the focus is completely different. The plots only slightly relate. It is superior to the first story in delivery and action as well. If you enjoyed book one, do not hesitate to pick this up.
