Před pětasedmdesáti lety byl Ray Lambert, tehdy třiadvacetiletý armádní medik, v první vlně při vylodění na pláži Omaha v Normandii. Jako téměř stoletý nám předložil jedny z nejpozoruhodnějších pamětí současnosti, neuvěřitelné vzpomínky na jeho roli vojenského zdravotníka za druhé světové války, jenž riskoval vlastní život, aby zachránil hrdiny Dne D. Každý z nás byl hrdinou je nezapomenutelný příběh nejen o tom, co se dělo během těch ohromujících a zoufalých hodin na pláži Omaha, ale také o odvaze a udatnosti, které těmto událostem předcházely během druhé světové války – od pouští severní Afriky přes zrádné horské průsmyky na Sicílii až po největší vojenské vítězství, jaké svět kdy poznal.

He agrees, then gets into a situation so dire only SEAL Team Six can extricate him. While grateful for help from the unit he helped establish, Marcinko realizes there''s a lot more going on than the CIA will admit—and when the investigation leads to a luxury liner loaded with explosives and contraband heading toward the United States, he recruits members from the original SEAL Team Six to help.

To combat terror, sometimes fire must be fought with fire. In the Nevada desert, the high-tech future of warfare is being conceived and constructed at a top-secret military facility called Dreamland. A volatile U.S. ally has fallen prey to the terrorist beast. India is the target of radical Islamic jihadists, and the world watches breathlessly as tensions escalate between the uneasy giant and its longtime nemesis, Pakistan—with China waiting in the wings, eager to flex its military might. A nuclear showdown seems inevitable, unless the masterminds at Dreamland can get to the mysterious source of the terror and end it, swiftly and permanently. Every technological wonder the military possesses must be employed to avert an all-out Apocalypse—from an awesome new hybrid Navy destroyer to robot Nighthawks. But the fate of the region and the world will depend on the newest brainchild of the Dreamland team: an unproven instrument of ultimate power called End Game.

In the Nevada desert, the high-tech future of warfare is being conceived and constructed at a top-secret military facility. America’s best defense, they keep the nightmare at bay with astonishing technology. But now the terror is aimed directly at the heart of Dreamland. The Dreamland team has used stealth, raw nerve, and technology to defuse nightmares all across the globe. But now the darkness is racing toward America at blinding speed. With more than two dozen nuclear devices unaccounted for, the global masters of terror have set a catastrophe in motion: a surprise attack more deadly than Pearl Harbor and 9/11 combined. If the nation is to survive, Lieutenant Colonel Tecumseh “Dog” Bastian and his crew will have to reach deep into their cutting-edge arsenal. And they’ll have to do it short-handed—because two of Dreamland’s best and bravest have been lost at sea . . .

When America is in peril, America''s top-guns must answer the call. In the Nevada desert, the high-tech tools of tomorrow''s wars are being conceived and tested at a top-secret military facility called Dreamland—where the impossible becomes reality. The weapon is codenamed "Razor"—the brainchild of the brilliant minds at Dreamland—a mobile chemical laser system with a range of 600 kilometers, capable of downing anything that flies. The destruction of an American aircraft over Northern Iraq suggests the inexplicable and unthinkable: a vengeful foe now possesses the lethal technology. It is a fear that draws an old warrior out of retirement, and sends Dreamland''s best pilots to the skies to determine what the enemy has and to help take it away from him. But politics threatens to crush a covert engagement that must be won in the air and on the ground, unleashing a devastating rain of friendly fire that could ultimately annihilate a nation''s champions … and perhaps Dreamland itself.

I over ti år var Chris Kyle USAs mest fryktede skarpskytter. Med dødelig presisjon beskyttet han medsoldater fra hustak og strategiske skjulesteder i Irak. Så fryktet var han at den irakiske opprørshæren satte en skuddpremie på han. I denne selvbiografien forteller han direkte og usminket om livet sitt, og gir et innblikk i et unikt stykke krigshistorie. Storfilmen «American sniper» er basert på denne boken.

But then he crosses paths with an unidentifiable foreign aircraft of terrifying capabilities. . . . Martin''s.
