The sniper is a battlefield threat second to none. Mastering the art of marksmanship is critical but is only part of what makes a Navy SEAL sniper. Snipers must be able to apply the craft in an urban environment or alone on a hostile mountain top with equal effectiveness. Today’s sniper must not just leverage technological advances but also have the foreknowledge to select the best rifle and gear for the mission. Increasingly, he must have the mental toughness to adapt to a constantly changing environment, gather intelligence, and truly act as a force multiplier. In this comprehensive look through the eyes of former Navy SEAL sniper instructor Brandon Webb and fellow Navy SEAL snipers Chris Kyle and Glen Doherty, the authors reveal not just the fundamentals of marksmanship but also the science of shooting, stalking, and camouflage and how technological advances have changed the training and increased the effectiveness of the modern sniper. Including maritime, helicopter, and urban sniper operations, this updated edition also goes into detail on the latest research, development, testing, and evaluation of weapons and optics. From the basics like compensating for wind and bullet drop, to camouflage and placing yourself or your team in the best position to take a photo or pull a trigger, Webb and Doherty cover the critical elements that comprise the twenty-first century sniper.

One might wonder what it is really like behind all the miles of razor wire and the tall fences in the penitentiary today. Due to many extreme controversies in today’s society concerning the true meaning of the rule of law, protection of the public, fair sentencing, justifiable treatment of the incarcerated, and the brave men and women who, as correctional officers, put their lives on the line every day, it is essential to shed some much-needed light on this subject. Things have changed dramatically due to extreme political views, the increase in crime, immigration, and the idea of locking them up and throwing away the key. As a correctional officer, we see both sides of the fence. We see from “the inside looking out.’ It is important for society to fully understand what goes on inside a prison, and then they can make a reasonable conclusion for themselves. Change is always painful, but there is always room for much-needed change. This is a must read.
In the Andrayn year 2381 the leaders of all 241 habitable planets came together in a great convention to combine their resources to solve their problems, and to discuss reform proposals. Instead it brought chaos and war! Forth came great alliances, and when war finally broke out all 241 systems had allied with either the Andrayns of Andrayos, or the Demurans of Demura. The Lumen had the largest military force in the known systems. When the war ended two powers, The Lumen and the Andrayns, would equally divide the territories and wealth. The systems however would be governed by an Empire, with a Lumen Emperor. The Andrayns agreed to their terms, and both signed all documents stipulating the terms of their alliance. The war lasted a hundred years with the loss of 231 races. Nearing the end of the war the Andrayns betrayed the Lumen. They promised Blitten, Phorokian leaders power and wealth in the new Empire, only if they assisted them in the elimination of all remaining Lumen, the two accepted the terms. There were no known Lumen survivors in space or on the Lumen planet Luma. To date the Andrayn Empire governs all known systems and inhabitants. The Demurans and the Ryloqians escaped into uncharted space at the end of the war, vowing vengeance and to return one day. They did return but it was 1337 years later, calling themselves "The Army of the Prime Light," or "The Prime" for short.
