Audiobook S1ut’s Reviews > Special Forces - Soldiers > Status Update

This is the best book I've ever read. Not everyone will share that opinion, but for my specific tastes, nothing better has ever been written. I'm looking at the finish line now and I don't want it to end. Over 500 books in the last two years since I got back into reading, and this is it..this is the one. And thanks to Tal Bauer for Whisper, a total coincidence, that was the weirdest accidental tandem read of my life

It is 6 am and I can't go to sleep because I'm not done. My sleep schedule is so fucked because of this masterpiece

He felt connected, more than just his cock inside the Russian’s body, more than words and more than touches. “You conquered me, got to this Special Forces bloke well and truly.” His voice husky and low.

"You could betray and kill me now and I wouldn’t give a shit as long as you’d stay close until I died.” Excruciating. Vadim was still waiting for the force, the attack, revenge for the thing he’d done.

“There’s no glory in this whole shit. No war is ever glorious. Heroes are usually dead. Besides, they rarely turn into heroes because they are super-humans, but because of circumstances. Heroes rarely think. Heroes just act. So, all this is, is a stage for glory, small, personal and up to each one of us.” Making a sweeping gesture down his body and on to bergan and food. “My glory is all I have."

'Crying, sweating, trembling, he moaned and whimpered, lost in base desire and deepest need, no notion of what he should or could do, just a body that was nothing but centred sensations; a body that reacted at last. Pulled away from death and decay, Dan’s cock giving proof of life, almost flat against the stomach, foreskin retreating and dark purple head glistening with precum with every further breach of that hand'

"My ‘glory’ is to be a soldier, and the best soldier I can be. I glory in what I do, because that’s all I have. I’m a trained killer and I’m fucking good at it, and that includes surviving. But one day even my luck will run out, like it almost did this time. And next time, perhaps you won’t be there, and my glory will be to go down and die."

“There’s no glory in this whole shit. No war is ever glorious. Heroes are usually dead. Besides, they rarely turn into heroes because they are super-humans, but because of circumstances. Heroes rarely think. Heroes just act. So, all this is, is a stage for glory, small, personal and up to each one of us.” "My glory is all I have: this here"

'How much is your pride worth, Krasnorada? How much is your integrity worth? Weak-spined faggot about to betray his country for cock, simple as that. Vadim swallowed and lowered his gaze. Freedom. Freedom to do what he wanted. And Dan? What was he thinking?'

Ten years as a double agent is a shit deal, I wouldn't blame anyone for passing on that, even if it meant freedom to live openly as a gay man. Jesus this book

'..pain just perfect, just as he needed this, blowing his mind with the fear and danger and how perfect it was. Clenched hard down, feeling Dan’s hand on his mouth, fuck, yes, the closest thing to rape, his life and career and everything on the line, but yes. Just yes. He came within what felt like only heartbeats, into that hand, against the rocks, hardly breathing so he couldn’t make a sound..'

I love the writing.
'A bottomless vessel, the more he filled it, the emptier it got.
He stared, transfixed on the man, aware of a hidden desperation. He had to find a way to follow the Russkie; of course, it made strategic sense.'
