The US Army's Special Operations Aviation Regiment fields the best helicopter pilots in the world. Alan Mack was one of these intrepid Night Stalkers, proving his mettle through the rigors of training, endless deployments, and decades of war, during which he hunted Osama bin Laden, rescued American warriors from the jaws of death, was shot up, shot down, and only survived due to his indomitable will and the grace of God. - Steven Hartov, New York Times Bestselling co-author of In the Company of Heroes and The Night Stalkers
Alan Mack has achieved something quite extraordinary: an enthralling combat memoir that provides at the same time a compelling commentary on two decades of war. Perhaps most importantly, it is a searingly honest human story of the personal cost endured by the families of those who serve, and an inspiring tale of resilience. In short -- Mack has produced a triumph of story-telling. - Andy Milburn, author of WHEN THE TEMPEST GATHERS

Industry Reviews
"Razor 03 reads like a fast-paced action novel. Alan Mack gives us the deepest dive I've ever read about the fantastic life of a Night Stalker. It is as much a history lesson as it is a personal confession about the extremes of life in our nation's most esteemed aviation unit, TF 160. Razor 03 is the reminder we all need to know: our nation is safe because of the sacrifices and commitment of these brave men and women."--Matt Eversmann, New York Times Bestselling Author of "Walk in My Combat Boots"
"A gritty, inside look at life as a Night Stalker - from intense combat missions
overseas to the tragic costs that lifestyle can impose on a family."--Sean Naylor, author of the New York Times bestseller "Relentless Strike"
"Razor 03 - is an incredible story hardly believable had I not witnessed it first hand."--Command Master Chief (SEAL) Britt K. Slabinski, United States Navy (Ret.), Medal of Honor Recipient
"A truly extraordinary book by a phenomenal pilot and warrior. Alan Mack was in the thick of every sensitive, harrowing, high-stakes operation in the decade following 9/11. His account of combat from the cockpit of the world's most exceptional special ops aviation unit and of the toll it took on him and his family is forthright, riveting, raw, compelling, and inspirational. Readers will not be able to put Razor 3 down." --General David H. Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Commander of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, and Coalition Forces in Afghanistan, and former Director of the CIA
