About this listen
On a sunny May morning in 1998 in Cortez, Colorado, three desperados in a stolen truck opened fire on the town cop, shooting him 20 times; then they blasted their way past dozens of police cars and disappeared into 10,000 square miles of the harshest wilderness terrain on the North American continent. Self-trained survivalists, the outlaws eluded the most sophisticated law enforcement technology on the planet and a pursuit force that represented more than 75 local, state, and federal police agencies with dozens of SWAT teams, U.S. Army Special Forces, and more than 500 officers from across the country.
This is the first in-depth account of this sensational case, replete with overbearing local sheriffs, Native American trackers, posses on horseback, suspicion of vigilante justice and police cover-ups, and the blunders of the nation’s most exalted crime fighters pursuing outlaws into territory in which only they could survive.

Why did humans abandon hunting and gathering for sedentary communities dependent on livestock and cereal grains and governed by precursors of today's states? Most people believe that plant and animal domestication allowed humans, finally, to settle down and form agricultural villages, towns, and states, which made possible civilization, law, public order, and a presumably secure way of living. But archaeological and historical evidence challenges this narrative.

The Esperanza Fire started October 26, 2006, in the San Jacinto Mountains above the Banning Pass near Cabazon, California. It destroyed 41,000 acres and dozens of homes and cost the taxpayers $16 million dollars. But by far the highest costs of the conflagration were the lives of the five-man crew of Engine 57, the first engine crew ever killed fighting a wildland blaze. Fire and superheated gases had erupted in a freak "area ignition," sending flames racing across three-quarters of a mile in mere seconds, engulfing the crew and the house they were defending.

Story
Armored cars, burner phones, top-notch weaponry, and top-secret missions - this is the life of today's private military contractor. Like author Simon Chase, many PMCs were once the world's top military operatives, and since retiring from outfits like US Navy SEAL TEAM Six and the UK's Special Boat Service, they have devoted their lives to executing missions too sensitive for the government to acknowledge. Chase reveals here for the first time the operations too hazardous and politically volatile to be officially sanctioned by his employers.

Story
For decades, American administrations have forced our military to be neutered in many respects - hampered by restrained rules of engagement, passed in strength by Russia and China, and tested by rogue nations like North Korea and Iran. As a result, nuclear Armageddon hangs over us like a mighty sword. Military analysts agree that the United States can't start World War III. Why? We might lose. Sabers are rattling, and the war of words escalate between America and her enemies....

My mistake - just not that interesting
I don't like the way this is delivered, I don't like that it starts at the end, one of those "if he had known" sort of things. But it's history, so it already happened. But still, I just don't like this style. So in the end I just stopped listening. I'd have to be desperate to work up the interest to start again. I am sure it is a compelling read for people who are closer to this story, but to me it's just another story about a the bad end some people I'll never need to care about came to.

Meh
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Very wordy in some parts.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Well since it's a true story, I think just the way it was told didn't capture my attention.
Would you be willing to try another one of Arthur Morey’s performances?
No, I'm not sure if he has some sort of accident or what? He also seems to always be talking in a hushed whisper.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
This book would probably make a better movie.
Any additional comments?
Narration really ruined it for me.

Modern day western meets true crime
Well written true crime in the arid west. An amazing story of an ambushed policeman and the chase to catch his killers.
Only complaint was that when the author presented his theory of what happened he did not always day how he reached his conclusions. Much of it was from police reports,etc. but some of our was not clear. Overall a great book.

A good story. The author failed in one point
While the book has well supported theory, the reference to .233 cartridges is an error.

Reclassify As Fiction
Much of this book is written as speculation and refutes official conclusions by law enforcement.

Good story. Too long.
The editor should have cut this by at least a third. There is way to much repetition. Turf wars with the FBI and the locals was talked about 3 different times with no new information added. You can probably skip every other chapter and still have a fairly congruent story. Don't skip the last 2 chapters.

Reads like a thriller
The first two thirds of this book is gripping. Though it is a true story, the writer has managed to capture the thrill and terror of this attack on law enforcement as if it was a movie.
In the final third of the book, the writer digresses into vague speculation, much of it completely unsupported by any evidence or documentation, and most of it dreary in comparison to the first part of the book. I don't know it the author felt the book was too short, or for what other reason he did this.
I still rate this listen as 4/5 because the first third of the book is so well written and exciting, it's a recommended purchase.
