Fearless: The Undaunted Courage and Ultimate Sacrifice of Navy SEAL Team SIX Operator Adam Brown

Product Information

It is about family, the love, work, grief, and happiness of a child who conquers himself. The sorrow, destruction, and pain of rebelliousness. Because during a mission Adam Brown lost the eyesight on his right eye. He was supposed to be honourably discharged BUT REFUSED. He made them let him stay (I can't even wrap my mind around how he managed that). He went on another mission some time later and was hurt again. This time, his humvee flipped over, landing on his right hand, cutting off 4 of his fingers. They were surgically reattached but - as you can imagine - the hand never worked properly again. So they wanted to honourably discharge him again. AND HE REFUSED AGAIN. He became a leftie instead. Yeah, because that is what everyone would do. Right?! He went on to become a member of the best of this elite team - the famous SEAL Team 6 (or whatever their true name is). But after high school, Adam fell in with the wrong crowd and his family watched as his appetite for risk dragged him into a downward spiral that eventually landed him in jail. Battling his inner demons on a last-chance road to redemption, Adam had one goal: to become the best of the best—a US Navy SEAL. This is not another SEAL book about ego; this is a powerful book about perseverance that will absolutely inspire everybody. Adam was a warrior in the truest sense—courageous, compassionate, intrepid, and humble. And his dedication to God, country, family, and the Brotherhood was genuine and exceptional. This book will motivate you to challenge yourself to be…fearless.” Be prepared for the full range of emotions as the true adventures of a real American hero demonstrate that ‘with God, all things are possible.'”

Fearless is life-changing. Very rarely do I tear up when I read a good story. Even more rarely do I cry. Fearless brought me to that point. In the life of Adam Brown, we see a man who loved everyone. His passion for his wife and children was overwhelming. His comradeship with his fellow teammates was deep and enduring. His compassion for the poor and oppressed Afghan children was incredible. And his desire to live for his Savior was awe-inspiring. Adam Brown was a devoted man who was an unlikely hero but a true warrior, described by all who knew him as…fearless. Timmy: A classmate of Gaia that is later revealed to be a rapist after a failed attempt to rape Gaia. He is eventually arrested for his crimes.

I don't know what more to say other than this was not only an excellent story, but the author did a wonderful job telling it. In June 2005 a spinoff series entitled Fearless FBI was launched. The series describes Gaia's post-college life, where she decides to join the FBI as opposed to the CIA, the organization her father belongs to. Gaia forms a working relationship and friendship with her partner Catherine Sanders, as well as a romantic relationship with Will Taylor. Natasha Tatiana's mother and for a time, Tom's lover due to her similarity to his dead wife Katia. She moved in with Tom but eventually betrayed him and Gaia after she realized that Tatiana would not inherit Yuri's organization, as the two are actually related to Katia, Yuri, and Gaia. She is eventually arrested for her crimes. Shain, Michael (Oct 9, 1998). " 'FEARLESS' GRAB FOR TEEN SERIES". New York Post . Retrieved 18 October 2013. Adam’s shenanigans throughout this high school years made you wonder if he’d live to graduate. But he did. When his three best buddies went off to college, Adam seemed to lose his sense of purpose. He got into the wrong crowd and did what he never thought he’d ever do–street drugs, which led to jail time. This went on for some years, until he met his sweetheart, Kelley, whom he married, had a son and eventually a daughter, and was guided into the service. How he got into the service is a story in itself!

Despite the title, I wonder if there was one thing Adam Brown feared until near the end of his life. Himself. Throughout high school, Adam was the one teenager who strove to help others. His parents knew that if he promised something, it was as good as done. When he went off to college, he lost his focus and close friendships and fell into the wrong crowd. After dropping out of college and spiraling down to drugs and jail, he reached out to Jesus Christ and committed his life to Him. Fearless is the story of a man of extremes, whose courage and determination was fueled by faith, family, and the love of a woman. It’s about a man who waged a war against his own worst impulses and persevered to reach the top tier of the US military. Always the first to volunteer for the most dangerous assignments, Adam’s final act of bravery led to the ultimate sacrifice." ~ from Publisher's description Jelena Dokic was a prodigious tennis player who made the quarter-finals of Wimbledon at the age of just 16. The combat missions are told in such a fashion that you are going through the elements and conditions along with the men. Their tenacity and endurance make me proud to know we have men who are willing to fight for our safety at the cost of their lives if necessary. The select mission at the end will bring it full circle, though the missions have not ended. Though the book revolves around Adam, he knew that working with the SEALS was a team effort. He took no glory for himself.

This book is not your typical SEAL story, although all of them are inspiring examples of great men that sacrifice more than we can imagine to honor the patriot blood that runs through their veins to protect this great country. This story about Adam Brown is that and so much more. In the end, I could summarize that this book is about love. Love of a forgiving and strengthening God, love of a great woman, love of country, love of family, and love of the SEAL brotherhood. Love. Not a word that you would expect to describe a fierce, highly trained warrior, but it's true. Love.
