About this audiobook
The companion volume to the multimillion-copy bestseller No Easy Day by former Navy SEAL Mark Owen reveals the evolution of a SEAL Team Six operator.
Mark Owen's instant #1 New York Times bestseller, No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama bin Laden, focused on the high-profile targets and headline-grabbing chapters of the author's thirteen years as a Navy SEAL. His follow-up, No Hero, is an account of Owen's most personally meaningful missions, missions that never made headlines, including the moments in which he learned the most about himself and his teammates in both success and failure.
Featuring stories from the training ground to the battlefield, No Hero offers readers a never-before-seen close-up view of the experiences and values that make Mark Owen and the SEALs he served with capable of executing the missions that make history.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5An OK book, nothing special. Audiobook narrator was great, as usual (the audio companies seem to have gotten that aspect down pretty good these days). Basically some stories of SEAL activity and those are interesting for anyone interested in SEAL adventures. I enjoyed the book - it was written almost as if you were sitting around bs-ing with a SEAL about his adventures. Apparently SEALs tend to think they are some superheroes, because he kept saying "we're not heroes".... um.... no, you aren't, why do you keep saying that? It's as if they really do think they are super great heroes but are trying to sound modest. SEALs excel at beefing up, fighting, playing outdoors, and killing... it's clear from the stories that they want to kill and enjoy killing. Just like any endeavor, they are good at what they practice. They have a fun life (IMO) spending lots of time outdoors, exercising, and living on the edge - that in my book is "fun" (not the killing, though I suppose if I were a SEAL I would enjoy it). Nothing more, nothing less. Anyway, I recommend the book if you simply enjoy hearing some SEAL adventures but I don't recommend it if you get worked up (either way) about killing people.
