This is an action packed novel and a thriller. There were times while reading it I could not believe it was a novel. As I read I became to know the Seal team members' families. I became so engrossed. I have read other Seal books so while reading I thought this was an operation by Seals on deployment. It had to have been a planned operation. I followed them every step of the way from Central America to Somalia, to the coast of Russia and finally to Mexico The book is so well written. I could not put it down. If you like action thrillers and mysteries read it. I loved it.Product details

Tom Clancy Presents Act of Valor (Audible Audio Edition) Dick Couch George Galdorisi Steven Weber Brilliance Audio Books Reviews
Gives a lot of insight into what the life of a seal might be like. Probably the greatest warriors ever to be on this planet. Thank God they are there to protect us.
So often in our daily routine, we forget that someone somewhere paid the ultimate price for our freedom. It's been said many times before that FREEDOM ISN'T FREE! We have an obligation to our fallen heroes to see that their loved ones are properly taken care of so that there isn't anytime where these families feel as if their loved ones have been forgotten.
This book tells a story about our heroes and does an honorable job convying how these heroes go about doing what we take for granted, protecting America at all cost.
God bless our military, God bless America.
I like to rate the books I read on how difficult it is to put it down once you start reading. This one got high marks. The action throughout this book is awesome. I won't go into the plot as I'm sure other reviews already have, but the plot of this book is very realistic and the characters more real than most novels. Been a long time since I picked up a Clancy book written by someone else, having been burned before with a crap book. This one, however definately is worth the extra coin. I also read 2 other books called Seal Team Six 1 and 2, which are also very good, but not quite as good as this one.
First impressions are important. Surely former SEAL Dick Couch knows that modern HALO rigs don't have front mounted, attachable reserve chutes. Yet right there on page one he's got a jumpmaster lifting one during a prejump inspection. And on page 240--- certainly both authors (a SEAL and a helo pilot) know that a Knighthawk has wheels instead of skids. But otherwise I thought the book was great. And I'm glad I read it before I saw the movie. The movie was much easier to follow with the book in my memory bank. And I'm glad the movie had the "rubber duck" jump/boat SEAL delivery to the sub instead of the helo winch in the book. I imagine that the Somali pirate jump was the reason for that change. All in all,I'm glad I have the book in my library.
We finally, after 10 years, have specific insight into a preeminent aspect of what has kept America safe since 9/11. Although fiction, each of the vignettes in Act of Valor is based on an actual operation and accurately depicts the tactics, equipment, intelligence and communications that allows America to bring appropriate force, sometimes incredible force, to any point on the planet. Additionally, this book accurately characterizes the operators that have total focus on the mission, but are also family men with wives and small children who also make amazing sacrifices to keep America safe, making do without their father's guidance and their husband's love for extended periods of time. The threat that their men may not return is a fear that the families must live with daily. Their loved one is literally on the tip of the spear. At the end of the movie there is a very powerful credit, listing all the SEAL operators who have lost their lives in the line of duty, keeping us safe, since 9/11.
A must read for all Americans! George Orwell's quote, "We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." has never been more true!!

I'd been reading about Act of Valor for months.
Since I'm a former Special Ops Plans Officer, I was very interested.
I learned about the book in an article by Dick Couch published in Naval History Magazine, February 2012 (Volume 26, Number 1).
Captain Couch, USN(Retired), was the highest ranking reserve SEAL at the time of his retirement. He is one of the preeminent SOF historians.
Since I've read all of Dick Couch's book, I had to get this one. He adds background and detail to the movie.
BTW - I saw the movie on Sunday and enjoyed it greatly. Most authentic since Blackhawk Down.
I spend a lot of time listening to audiobooks in my truck throughout the day. I'm disappointed the audio CD is marketed as unabridged when in fact on the box it says abridged. It's only 4 hours 47 minutes long. The book is well over 300 pages. How much is deleted? I feel it's like watching a movie on network TV with all the commercials, editing and parts cut to fit time slot compared to seeing the movie on HBO. Story was good but I personally feel cheated.
This is an action packed novel and a thriller. There were times while reading it I could not believe it was a novel. As I read I became to know the Seal team members' families. I became so engrossed. I have read other Seal books so while reading I thought this was an operation by Seals on deployment. It had to have been a planned operation.
