Reviews"Send Me is a gripping story that transcends the battlefield, illuminating the intricate balance between love, duty, family, and sacrifice within the secretive realm of special operations. Joe Kent and Marty Skovlund share the legacy of Shannon Kent's remarkable life and the impact she made, not just at the tip of the spear in our nation's most elite units, but on all those who knew her in this emotional journey that will remain with you long after you turn the final page." -- Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Terminal List series and Navy SEAL Sniper

SynopsisThe extraordinary story of American special operator and trailblazer Shannon Kent, who hunted high value targets on classified missions in the most dangerous locales on earth while trying to balance her life as a wife and mother. Of the 1.3 million active-duty service members in the US military, only a tiny fraction are selected as "operators." Shannon Kent was one of the first women to serve at this level and was widely recognized as one of the best. Shannon served as a Navy cryptologic technician, responsible for signals intelligence and electronic warfare, but her proficiency with language set her apart. She was assigned to a unit so secretive that its name can't even be printed here, where she worked clandestinely to hunt the most wanted terrorists in the world. Send Me is Shannon's heroic life story, revealing the truth of both her work and the challenges she faced while trying to raise a family with her husband Joe, himself a Special Forces soldier. He and Shannon met in a war zone, their love forged during a special operations training course, their dedication spanning multiple combat deployments and the birth of their two boys. It is the legacy of an extraordinary woman who rose to the apex of the military, working with the most elite forces in the world, lifting the veil from the life of a Special Forces family to share their duty, sacrifice, and humanity.
