An aircraft carrier adrift with a crew the size of a small town. A
murderer in their midst. And the disgraced Navy SEAL who must track
him down...'Sensationally good - an instant classic, maybe an
instant legend' Lee ChildThe moment Navy SEAL sniper Finn sets foot
on the USS Abraham Lincoln, it's clear something is deeply wrong.
Leadership is weak. Morale is low. And when crew members start
disappearing one by one, what at first seems like a random string
of suicides soon reveals something far more sinister: there's a
serial killer on board. Suspicion falls on newcomer Finn. After
all, he's being sent home in disgrace, recalled from the field
under the dark cloud of a mission gone wrong. He's also a lone
wolf, haunted by his past. Finding the killer offers a chance at
redemption... if he can stay alive long enough to prove it isn't
him. A gripping and high-octane thriller from New York Times
bestselling writing team of Navy SEAL Brandon Webb and
award-winning author John David Mann, Steel Fear is perfect for
fans of Tom Clancy, Brad Thor and Adam Hamdy. 'An edge-of-your-seat
thriller ... once you get going there's no stopping' Steve Berry,
New York Times bestselling author 'For readers who can't resist a
bureaucracy-battling action hero, there's a new kid on the block'
Booklist [Starred review] 'That more thrillers are to come from
these authors will be welcome news to readers who appreciate
carefully plotted and intelligent suspense' Publishers Weekly
[Starred review]
Yet it is Webb's distinguished second career as a lead instructor
for the shadowy "sniper cell" and Course Manager of the Navy SEAL
Sniper Program that trained some of America's finest and deadliest
warriors - including Marcus Luttrell and Chris Kyle - that makes
his story so compelling. Luttrell credits Webb's training with his
own survival during the ill-fated 2005 Operation Redwing in
Afghanistan. Kyle went on to become the U.S. military's top
marksman, with more than 150 confirmed kills. From a candid
chronicle of his student days to his hair-raising close calls with
Taliban and al Qaeda forces in the northern Afghanistan wilderness
to his vivid account of designing new sniper standards and training
some of the most accomplished snipers of the twenty-first century,
Webb provides a rare look at the making of the Special Operations
warriors who are at the forefront of today's military.

He's out of options. Kill. Or be killed. A searing thriller that
will leave you reelingDisgraced Navy SEAL Finn is on the run. A
wanted man, he's sought for questioning in connection to war crimes
committed in Yemen by a rogue element in his SEAL team. But he can
remember nothing. Finn learns that three members of his team have
been quietly redeployed to Iceland, which is a puzzle in itself;
the island is famous for being one of the most peaceful places on
the planet. His mission is simple: track down the three SEALs and
find out what really happened in Yemen. But two problems stand in
his way. On his first night in town a young woman mysteriously
drowns-and a local detective suspects his involvement. Worse, a
hardened SEAL-turned-contract-killer has been hired to stop him.
And he's followed Finn all the way to the icy north. The riveting
follow-up to Steel Fear, from the New York Times bestselling
writing team, combat decorated Navy SEAL Brandon Webb and
award-winning author John David Mann, comes a gripping thriller
perfect for fans of Lee Child and Brad Thor.
As a Navy SEAL, Brandon Webb rose to the top of the world's most elite sniper corps. Along the way, Webb served beside, trained and supported men he came to know not just as fellow warriors, but as friends and, eventually, as heroes. This is his personal account of eight extraordinary SEALs, who gave all for comrades and country. These are men who left behind powerfully instructive examples of what it means to be alive - and what it truly means to be a hero.
The Killing School brings readers inside the U.S. Naval Special
Warfare (SEAL) Scout/Sniper Course - the gruelling three-month
training program that produces the world's deadliest snipers. As a
SEAL sniper and combat veteran, Brandon Webb was tasked with
revamping the U.S. Naval Special Warfare (SEAL) Scout/Sniper
School, incorporating the latest advances in technology to create
an entirely new course that continues to test even the best
warriors. In this revealing new book, Webb takes readers through
every aspect of the elite training. Trainees learn to utilize every
edge possible to make their shot count - studying crosswinds,
barometric pressure, latitude, and even the rotation of the Earth
to becoming ballistic experts. In addition to marksmanship, each
SEAL's endurance, stealth, and mental and physical stamina are
pushed to the breaking point. Webb also shows how this training
plays out in combat, using real-life exploits of the world's top
snipers, including Jason Delgado, who made some of the most
remarkable kill shots in the Iraq War; Nicholas Irving, the U.S.
Army Ranger credited with thirty-three kills in a single tour in
Afghanistan; and Rob Furlong, who during Operation Anaconda
delivered the then-longest kill shot in history. During Webb's
sniper school tenure, the course graduated some of the deadliest
snipers of this generation, including Marcus Luttrell (Lone
Survivor), Adam Brown (Fearless), and Chris Kyle (American Sniper).
The Killing School demonstrates how today's sniper is trained to
function as an entire military operation rolled into a single
individual - an army of one. (P)2017 Quercus Editions Limited
