A tense and riveting read about a navy SEAL who is forced to confront the evil of the big and over-powerful American government. Overall I enjoyed the story and the plot flowed well. I sympathized with the main character though he takes actions that made me balk a little bit. It was realistic to his character though. The ending was mostly satisfying with one tiny detail left not quite satisfied. I liked the way the plot progressed. I could tell the book was written by a politically conservative author and I appreciated some of the topics and ideas he explored. It definitely pushed you to question some more mainstream agendas. 

My biggest issue with the book would be graphic violence (very explicit descriptions of gore and stomach-turning violence) some  language (though not excessive) and a few brief mentions of sexual elements. No sex scenes or anything graphic but there were a few sensual elements.
