Default Clarification

The Book is actually called The Specialist: Revelations of Counterterrorist (or at least that is what it was called when it was printed in hardcover, books sometimes change titles when they are reprinted in paperback); is about many operations by Gayle Rivers has conducted. While the movie of the same name is about a woman (Sharon Stone) entices a mercenary bomb expert (Sylvester Stallone) into destroying the mafia that killed her family, similar theme, but no connection.

Also I did some research on Gayle Rivers. Gayle Rivers is a pseudonym for a mercenary, who has since the Vietnam War, and has conducted assassinations, abductions, car-bombings, and truck hijacks. He has also authored two non-fiction books: The Five Fingers; which is still regarded as one of the premier accounts in the spec-war genre; and The War Against the Terrorists: How to Win It. As well as authoring the fiction books Hunter's Run and The Killing House.
