Another Spider Shepard thriller. Yeah, they kill Bin Laden in this one, early on, so that's fortunately the main storyline. Haven't checked up on the reason (at least the public reason) the helicopter crashed during the assassination, but this version makes sense. Leather constantly makes fun of the US Special Forces for their incompetence compared to the SAS. I don't have any real world data on that and it doesn't really matter, though the US has had a long string of SF failures. Anyway, think I have one more of these books on hand, then that will be the end of this series for me. I will have read 12 of the 16 books. That's enough. I do have some of the other stand alone books, and I've read eight or nine of those and may read another couple. We'll see.
