“Weisman is perhaps wired more tightly into the reclusive special operations community than any other writer, and his knowledge of weaponry and field techniques is staggering.”
Washington Times

“A pro who knows his stuff.”
—Oliver North

John Weisman, whose expertise in the field of covert military operations is unsurpassed, delivers a stunning fictional account of the most extraordinary mission of the century: the hunting down and assassination of Osama Bin Laden, the most reviled killer of the twenty-first century, by US Navy SEALs. With KBL: Kill Bin Laden the critically acclaimed author of SOAR and Jack in the Box goes behind the headlines, carrying readers along on a breakneck, breathtakingly realistic chase—from planning to training to execution—as the evil mastermind behind the horror of 9/11 is finally brought to justice.

      Impressively detailed and imagined, Weisman’s fictional account of the hunt for al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden will resonate with armchair patriots. Weisman, the coauthor with Richard Marcinko of 1992’s Rogue Warrior and eight subsequent Rogue Warrior novels, knows the ins and outs of covert operations and high-tech weaponry, all of which come to bear in this fast-paced narrative focused on the last stages of the search for the world’s most wanted man. The novel opens in December 2010 with Charlie Becker, a crippled American veteran, deeply undercover as a beggar on the streets of Abbottabad, Pakistan, looking for signs that bin Laden is nearby. The author convincingly renders what could have happened in the following months—including the intelligence gathering, the military preparation, and the political intrigues—that resulted in bin Laden’s death in May. Fans of vintage Tom Clancy will find a lot to like. Those looking for nuance should seek elsewhere.
