Summary
U.S. Navy SEAL team’s Omega unit sat making last minute checks on their weapons and equipment. Their mission: to hold the uppermost level of an ancient stronghold that had shown little military significance – until now.

Each man knew what was required of him; they had gone over the drills more than thirty times. The 8-man team had been together for years, and the were a tightknit, perfectly functioning unit.

Then, there was the ninth man, the only one who didn’t belong.

Not bad for a short story… I actually want to know what happens next!

Interesting. I do like the way a clever author can tell a story in a very short time. Abs thanks to Audio Books is was free.

I was riveted and my eyes widened with each new dilemma to solve. I eagerly await reading the next book to find out the continuing challenges ahead for him. The narrator had me feeling the frustration and elation and confusion as if I were the one preforming the mission. Good author narrator pairing.

I enjoyed this story and wish it were a novel

Profile Avatar FAYELLE W. Jan 2025

This is GREAT as a short story but far from finished. Like, it'd be a great first chapter or prologue. Got my attention right away but ended extremely abruptly which... I think was the point? Anyway, it's a good short story.

I wanted more!!!!!!!!!

Profile Avatar Pol Reamonn Nov 2024

Unsure who this story is for but each to their own. But definitely not for me.

Profile Avatar Miss Biggun Oct 2024

The description was misleading and the story didn't make a lot of sense in my opinion

Profile Avatar Peter D. Oct 2023

Fair writing and narration; however bland. A stereotypical North American trope.

Profile Avatar Penguin Fox Aug 2023

It was ok but not my cup of tea

Profile Avatar Darlene S. Jun 2023

Entertaining short story

Profile Avatar John T. Feb 2023

I got lost in the details. I was ready for another chapter, though.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2022

Profile Avatar coffeeatsix Jul 2022

I really enjoyed this short story :)

Profile Avatar Linda A. Apr 2022

I apologize for this negative review....However, the story line began as a positive read/listen; but left us listeners at a question to the ending or was it the beginning ?!?

Profile Avatar Chuck T. Feb 2022

Basically an Indiana Jones episode.

Profile Avatar Hans H. Jan 2022

This is a great story. I like the pace in which it moved and the narration was really well done. You actually believe that the narrator was old and experienced enough to have done these things. My only actual negative critique is that the story was too short. I couldn’t find another link or another title from this series. That might be my fault but sometimes the Audiobooks library a little hard to navigate. I would definitely recommend this book if you’re interested in the type of adventures that were the subjects of movies during the 1980’s, about an archeologist who did much the same things (I hope you know who I’m talking about). Although it’s reminiscent of those adventures, I really like that it has more modern day twist to it.

Profile Avatar Suzanne M. Nov 2021

EXCELLENT but ended much too early! Captivating. Felt like i was right w the hero. Soooo upset when it ended

Profile Avatar Oscar I. Nov 2021

A chapter of an excellent book - but like a sample it had no conclusion or resolution

Profile Avatar christina Brownlow Jul 2021

Good action packed well read storytelling. Bit of a sudden end

Profile Avatar Selena Grcic Jul 2021

Even though it is a short story I found it boring and didn't cate for it. Hard to follow.
