Started Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Just started it, not much to say about it yet.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I am still listening to this. It is getting more and more insane.

I did six years in the Army and the number of loosers and low lifes I dealt in the Army just blew my mind. I always thought that SF was a different breed, but no.

It is wild how the military’s “elite force” are just more of the same.

From the book, There was this one Delta guy who ran a biker club called Coast to Coast. The Delta guy went by Chris Valley.

His club did a fund raiser for five dead green berets. They raised 450,000, 250,000 he just kept and the rest went to help other SF guys “treatments”, gyro therapy, cryotherapy.

It was all just a scheme to take people’s money. How the hell and active duty delta gu yay did something that public is beyond incredible.

It really is a wild listen/read.

The chapters I am on now focus on an ex NC cop who was an expert at catching drug mules has became one of them after he was kicked off the Police Force.

Well if you were Delta Force in the second decade of the GWOT, you certainly do.
