Unit 416

by J. Leon Pridgen II, A. John Vinci

Five tough as nails criminals. One hard-assed Sergeant. The only chance to change their lives. These are the men of Unit 416. Push them hard and they push harder. Things are about to get deadly―but with the skill and swagger of Unit 416, no mission is impossible…

Born and raised in America’s hardest streets, five men are faced with the ultimate choice: continue their lives of crime and incarceration or serve their country and join the army. Master Sergeant Keeble is faced with no good choice: be the leader of a new section called Unit 416 or take him and his surgically-repaired leg out of the game for good. At first, all Keeble has to work with is a ragtag group of men with no regard for the rules and a huge chip on their shoulders. But as the men go through training and more together, they form a group so tight, so formidable, that nothing can break them apart. And when a secretive CIA directive leads them straight into the heart of Uzbekistan to infiltrate an arms cartel, Unit 416’s men will need all the grit, tough―and heart―they have in order to see this mission home.

Very captivating. Interesting and emotional. Considering I read it in under 10 hours, I would definitely consider it a page turner. Highly Recommend.

I'm giving this book 5 stars! It was very good. Gripping detail and I could feel the camaraderie building among these men. A group of young soldiers, all former criminals are given a second chance to serve their nation. Led by a wounded warrior with his own personal battles, these men prepare for the toughest mission of their careers. Throughout the book, I felt I was right there with these guys, pushing, fighting, and advancing. The mystery is a shock and the ending wraps up nicely too. Fans of military fiction would enjoy this book.

First of all I wish I could rate this book 10 stars, it deserves it and more....I loved this book. It was a fantastic, emotional, heart touching read. It felt like I was there or seeing what was happening through the soldiers eyes. The writing was well written and had so much emotion I felt while reading it. I cried at the end of this book. This book deserves so many awards.....And thank you to all the soldiers who served or who are still serving. God bless you and your family. This is one of my favorite all time favorite books.

Wow

Great read from beginning to the end. The author created not only a story with character development, but carry it through to the end. I had hoped that there was a second book.
