Marc Lonergan-Hertel, Navy SEAL turned professional explorer, finds himself on a modern-day odyssey to some of the world's most remote and dangerous locations, tracking the navigational courses of Sir Ernest Shackleton, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, and Teddy Roosevelt. Following the tragic deaths of teammates in the Amazon jungle, his journey takes a sudden twist with the aid of fellow SEALs and a surprise phone call to join a secret team of Special Operators tasked with protecting counter-terrorism specialists in Iraq. As a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Marc is immersed in a struggle with the escalating development of modern day ISIS, and the tragic vulnerabilities of the orphaned children of war. It becomes Marc's mission to locate, isolate and neutralize a dangerous cell of terrorists that are threatening the US government personnel that he is protecting-his survival and the safety of others takes a surprise twist when he is aided by an unlikely group of heroes beyond the wall. This is a personal journey from USMC 1st Force Reconnaissance Company, US Army 19th Special Forces Group, to Coronado, CA and BUD/S Class 207-and SEAL Team Four, to the depths of Antarctica, the jungles of the Amazon, and the cities of Iraq; where redemption is only a heartbeat away from danger and catastrophic failure. SEAL's ODYSSEY is a true story of challenge, survival, inspiration, and hope.
