This is a really good book for older teens to old people. I wouldn't recommend children and very young teens to read this. It has some language and some other not really bad stuff but stuff not for children.

The main character in the book is a guy named Schofield. He and his Special Forces squad are in Russia trying to terminate some terrorists. While they are there, he discovers he and 17 other people are on a bounty hunt hit list for $18.6 million dollars a head. He and these 17 other people are the only people with reflexes fast enough to disarm America's missiles when they're launched. This super secret organization gets rich off of war. They want to get rich again so they put Schofield and these other 17 people on this hit list so they can launch these missiles and not worry if they'll get disabled. So Schofield and some of his men have to survive 4 days and try to figure out what's going on and survive.

I have given this book a 4 1/2 to 5 star rating. I gave it this rating because it is fast and action packed. It doesn't stay way to long on one scene or subject for to long like other books do. It's very interesting. Another reason why I rated what I did was it was just the right length for a story like that. It also didn't have to few characters and it also didn't have to many characters.
