Publisher's summary

The CIA gave him 22 names. Then he left the CIA and went back to his birth name. He went back to being a normal American. Back to being a guy who trusts authorities to solve crimes and stop bad things. Back to being a guy who doesn't need to get involved. Then, Jake Beamer called. And he took on a 24th name.

Drill Sergeant Detail without the Verbal Abuse

I appreciate the works of Mr. Braddock, and wish that I had read this fictional work sooner. I hope to see more fiction and nonfiction from this author in time. Brains and guts over broads and gadgets.

Not as good as “a guide spy to…”

This book has some gold nuggets:
1. How to identify the more important people in an unknowable network of people. Strands vs nodes.
2. How to punch properly. Yes real punch a one that hurts.
3. It uses definitions of “end game” that is explained in his book of strategy and thinking.
4. To identify if a person is an ally or enemy or you don’t know yet. If ally - tell him your purpose so he can help you achieve it. If enemy lie about your purpose so he will not think backwards and stop you from achieving it. If you don’t know be vague and deflect the question.
5. Mentioned the data - analysis - decision - action process thinking. Action is always the most expensive to do since you can’t take your actions back once you made them.
6. I might have missed something so maybe in second listen there are more gold nuggets.

Overall I don’t regret buying this book. I do have to say that the gold nuggets are nice but there are scenes that I just got bored or felt that they don’t give any value.

To the author: please create another book in your series of “a spy’s guide to…” I will buy it for sure.
