Easy Day for the Dead

They started as soldiers. They became elite warriors. Now they are The Outcasts: The heroes the world will never know....

Alex Brandenburg: Smart, steady, and facing a crossroads in his life and career. The SEAL Chief Petty Officer is the Team Leader—leading his team into a living hell....

Going back into Iran for a second time brings Brandenberg and his team face-to-face with a maniacal Revolutionary Guard officer who knows Alex’s identity and is hot on his trail. The SEALs must free a hostage in Lebanon. Then the fight takes them halfway around the world—in a frantic battle of courage and fighting skill that America cannot afford to lose....
