They are the Outcasts. Because people don’t want to know what they do.
Alex Brandenburg: SEAL Chief Petty Officer and Outcasts Team Leader. Disobeyed direct orders by refusing to let a deadly terrorist live to kill another day. Francisco “Pancho” Rodriguez and John Landry: SEAL Petty Officers First Class. Took the pursuit of justice into their own hands with explosive results. Catherine “Cat” Fares. Navy Petty Officer. Holds an unbeatable record for pissing off the top brass with her strongly stated opinions on the combat readiness of women.
The team’s mission: Take out the seven terror merchants vying to take Bin Laden’s place. The team’s status: Expendable.
When America’s controversial Phoenix Program was buried during the Vietnam War, a new program rose from its ashes. A top-secret Special Operations unit, with a core mission to combat terror wherever they find it, Bitter Ash grew ever more necessary in a new world of Islamic fanaticism. Now, Bitter Ash is forming a special team, a SEAL Team Six with a difference. It is Tier One, on par with SEAL Team Six and Delta, but it will report directly to Bitter Ash, and its fight will take place under the cover of dark.
With Bin Laden dead, the petty leaders within al Qaeda struggle to assume his role at the top. The president of the United States doesn’t want any of them left to dominate . . . and that means he has only one choice. But doing what’s needed without political repercussions will take a small team flying under the radar. A team capable of finessing the U.N.’s distinctions on national sovereignty and acts of war. A team like the Outcasts.
With no official support from their government and no one to rely on but themselves, the Outcasts must track down each target. Hot on the tail of the third, Brandenburg and the team start to realize that they are closing in on a larger plot, one that puts the security of the United States in dangerous jeopardy. The terrorists are threatening American territory once again, and the Outcasts will have to do what SEALs do best. Whatever it takes to keep their country safe.
—Chris Evans, author of the Iron Elves series

This is a well written book even for those who have never read a seal book. I think that it is a must read for those who like action packed books.
Wasdin's other book a non-fiction book about seal team 6 is also a good book.

A good, if quick, summer read. I hope that this team writes more stories about the Outcasts. A little predictable, but an exciting book.

Check this out! This is a wonderfully entertaining read backed by superb knowledge of Seals. Never a dull moment. I'm a fan of Brad Taylor, Vince Flynn, and Brad Thor and I find this author's presentation of Seal Team 6 very real. My husband is retired military and I guess I'm still addicted to the life and stories. Anxious for the next installment.

The story line was not well developed and did not keep my attention.
There were times when I thought that the authors just tried to make the storyline fit.
The bottom-line is that I did not enjoy the book, nor will I read anything else by these authors.
