Book excerpt: Osama bin Laden dead? With no body, no photos, and only alleged genetic samples as proof, half the world believes bin Laden's well-publicized death was a hoax. On May 1, 2011, did Navy Seal Team Six just miss the al Qaeda leader in his Abbottabad compound? Or, warned by Pakistan's ISI, did bin Laden escape into the high Hindu Kush where he continued execute attacks against the U.S. and its allies? Told by Scout Sniper Jack Hull, HIGH VALUE TARGET is the real story of the death of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda's horrific revenge on the U.S. mainland. "A well-written and engaging novel that provides jarring insights into the complexities of the war in Afghanistan, and into those who are fighting it." -Lt. General U.S. Army (Ret.) Robert Gard, PhD "A great novel on the death of Osama bin Laden, HIGH VALUE TARGET is a page-turner in the tradition of Clancy, W.E.B. Griffin, and Dale Brown. We now have a new hero named Jack Hull to watch out for. HIGH VALUE TARGET shows us, in great detail, how it really happened and what we need to be wary of in the future. I could not put it down--a great read!!" -Lt. Col. U.S. Army (Ret.) Professor of Military History and English John K. Swensson
