In March 2010, SEAL Team Six operator Adam Brown was killed in Afghanistan while diverting enemy fire away from the members of his unit. Blehm traces Brown's nomadic upbringing, during which the values that would serve him as a SEAL were established. But Brown was also a wild child, and eventually his exploits landed him in jail. At rock bottom, he decided to become a Navy SEAL. Paul Michael, whose crisp, everyman delivery and slight Southern accent, would seem the ideal narrator for this audio edition. However, his narration is one note, barely differing from dramatic moments to purely expository passages. By the time Michael reads: "The SEALS were ready to breach the gates of the two compounds when a startled farm animal made a noise and alerted one compound's militants, who came out of their rooms and began firing blindly into the night," listeners will have likely tuned out.

When Navy SEAL Adam Brown woke up on March 17, 2010, he didn't know he would die that night in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan-but he was ready. In a letter to his children, not meant to be seen unless the worst happened, he wrote, “I'm not afraid of anything that might happen to me on this earth, because I know no matter what, nothing can take my spirit from me.”

Fearless is the story of a man of extremes, whose courage and determination were fueled by faith, family, and the love of a woman. It's about a man who waged a war against his own worst impulses, including drug addiction, and persevered to reach the top tier of the U.S. military. In a deeply personal and absorbing chronicle, Fearless reveals a glimpse inside the SEAL Team SIX brotherhood, and presents an indelible portrait of a highly trained warrior whose final act of bravery led to the ultimate sacrifice.

Adam Brown was a devoted man who was an unlikely hero but a true warrior, described by all who knew him as...fearless.
“As a rule, we don't endorse books or movies or anything regarding the command where I work-and Adam Brown worked-but as the author writes in*Fearless, `you have to know the rules, so you know when to bend or break them.' This is one of those times. Read this book. Period. It succeeds where all the others have failed.”
