Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2021
I enjoyed this book, great action great story, good plot and Kept moving. Glad to see an author who let's his lead finish the job, nothing worse than a few hundred pages of build up to see justice served to the bad guy and the justice is anticlimactic, so thank you!!!
My one issue is it got just a little corny at times where I almost threw up in my mouth a bit corny. But all in all we like strong characters and good support staff. Well done.

1.0 out of 5 starsDo not force your LGBT views into a book. Leave them out of it
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019
I was enjoying the book, until I got to the part where CIA director Styles seduced a female. To add to that as if if it were not bad enough, it got a bit graphic. Was there any need at all for that. No. Bad enough that LGBT agenda is pushed. Now it is in this book. This author could have left it at the CIA director blackmailing the young woman. Simple. He had the her planting drugs and so on. No, he had to bring this into the story. I will never buy another single book from him unless he decides to stop writing in this type of stuff. I have read plenty of books in this genre and have not had to put up with this. I have seen plenty of top notch authors not even include sex in their action thrillers. Sad to see this, especially from a fellow veteran who also led Soldiers into battle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Debut Thriller!

Seventeen years post 09/11 there are many Americans who seem to have forgotten that day and that there are still factions in the world who are working hard to dismantle the American way of life. Sean Parnell has been on the front lines of the war on terror and he writes from a place that only men with his experience can. Man of War will put you right in the heat of the action in such a way you can almost taste the north African sands in your mouth. He interlaces close combat, technical details and humor in a perfectly flowing order that will keep your eyes glued to the page. In fact I finished this in 1 day! There is more to Eric Steele and I have no doubt this is just the beginning of his story. If you are a fan of Clancy, Flynn, Greaney or Thor then I welcome you to your next addiction.

Quit reading the reviews! If you are a military thriller fan, you need to read this book. If you are a fan of military non-fiction as well, you need to purchase Outlaw Platoon, which is one of the most well written books on the war on terror.

To help you all out who are deciding whether to purchase this book, I say this: I am a fan of Clancy, Thor, Flynn, Greany and Ben Coes. If you like those authors, you will thoroughly enjoy this book. Well done Mr. Parnell and thank you for your service!

5.0 out of 5 stars Man of War. Sean Parnell
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2018

Eric Steele works for a covert group code named Alpha. Other the POTUS, very few people know of it's existence. The director of the CIA is out to expose Steele as well as POTUS. She is ambitious and power hungry . She will stop at nothing to achieve her goals, even killing POTUS. This is an extremely powerful read. Non stop action. My highest recommendation.

I stumbled on "Man of War" by Sean parnell. I liked the way the characters were constructed and the plot was great. Lots of cool gear and very believable. Read it in 2 days and now pre-ordered "All Out War". Highly recommend this! Now I am reading Sean's first book, "Outlaw Platoon". Sean's personal experiences in the War on Terror. Thank you to all who are and have served for our great country!

What a great book. Outlaw Platoon is an outstanding book. Made me a huge fan of Sean Parnell. But fiction? Yes, fiction! I read this in one day. It’s an excellent start to what I hope will be a long series. Great characters, great writing, terrific action scenes, and a very satisfying ending. If you love Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, And Ted Bell you will love Sean Parnell.

Shawn is an excellent author. Eric Steele is a very believable hero with courage, humor, brutality and softness. The other characters are equally believable. Competing interests at the top of the US intelligence community set up a loose nuclear weapon in the hands of a bad guy seeking revenge.

Fast paced action thriller. Loved Outlaw Platoon and this is an entirely different animal. Fans of vince Flynn, tom Clancy and Brad Thor will enjoy the hero and his comrades introduced in this book. Well written and edited. Hope it’s a great success so we can see more fiction from Sean Parnell. Great debut

5.0 out of 5 stars A Scintillating, High Octane Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2019

I haven't read a book that moved with a sense of urgency like this one does in a long time. I got sucked in on the very first page and couldn't put it down until my heart slowed and I reached the conclusion. I'm not much of a gun person but after this I think I've heard of every type used in the military. This story is so well written that you're right there in the middle of the action and watching it play out in front of you. I love when I can get lost in the book and not think about actually reading it. It's obvious that the author has first hand knowledge of the subject matter and I thank him for his service. I've read plenty of military themed books and this one just felt different and fresh. Though very detail oriented you never get bogged down with them as again they put you right there in the middle. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and can't wait for the next book in the series. I highly recommend this story to those of you who like your thrillers very fast paced, action packed and believable.
