About this listen
Four US Navy SEALS departed one clear night in early July 2005 for the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border for a reconnaissance mission. Their task was to document the activity of an al Qaeda leader rumored to have a small army in a Taliban stronghold. Five days later, only one of those Navy SEALS made it out alive.
This is the story of the only survivor of Operation Redwing, SEAL team leader Marcus Luttrell, and the extraordinary firefight that led to the largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history. His squadmates fought valiantly beside him until he was the only one left alive, blasted by an RPG into a place where his pursuers could not find him. Over the next four days, terribly injured and presumed dead, Luttrell crawled for miles through the mountains and was taken in by sympathetic villagers who risked their lives to keep him safe from surrounding Taliban warriors.
A born and raised Texan, Marcus Luttrell takes us from the rigors of SEAL training, where he and his fellow SEALs discovered what it took to join the most elite of the American special forces, to a fight in the desolate hills of Afghanistan for which they never could have been prepared. His account of his squadmates' heroism and mutual support renders an experience for which two of his squadmates were posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for combat heroism that is both heartrending and life-affirming. In this rich chronicle of courage and sacrifice, honor and patriotism, Marcus Luttrell delivers a powerful narrative of modern war.

Glad I had free credits
Having read the book before, as well as seeing the movie, countless interviews and podcasts with Marcus listening to this narrator is damn near impossible. He reads the story the same way a first year highschool drama student would "More! more, more emotion Mr. Collins!". It will take me months at this rate to finish it.

Extremely powerful story
This book now ranks very high on my list of personal favourites. One of the most compelling stories of courage and loyalty I've ever read. Even more successfully than other SEAL books, Lone Survivor imparts to the reader a profound impression of the loyalty each SEAL has to the brothers of his team. The narrator is also excellent, making the best of the sometimes repetitive vernacular. My only regret is the volume of offensive language -- I would not listen to this with my family, but everybody really should read this book.

awesome book
his "enthusiasm" at the beginning of the book put me off a little, but it grows on you as you realize that's just the way he is as a person and you'll soon see how great of a story teller he is.
the book is quite worth a listen to say the least.

Great story. Over the top narration.
Not a huge fan of the narration. Seemed a bit arrogant and over the top. But overall, an amazing book.

Great story, although narration felt like he was overacting
I loved the story so powered through, but I found it very difficult listening to the narration! Sorry Mr Collins, for me it seemed you we’re just trying to hard.
Worth the listen though, recommended. These men are truly hero’s

Amazing story
This whole story was absolutely insane and I loved every single minute of it. Really sets the scene and makes you feel like you’re actually there with him.
