Haunted by Heroes is the powerful follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Fearless, revealing the untold stories behind the story while honoring fallen SEAL Team 6 warriors whose voices still echo from the battlefield and beyond.  

Just days before SEAL Team 6’s daring raid into Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden, New York Times bestselling author Eric Blehm was approached to write the story of an unknown Navy SEAL from the top-secret unit: Adam Brown.

What began as the biography of an extraordinary life became an unexpected deep dive into a brotherhood of elite warriors. From remote training grounds in Alaska to the backrooms and coastline of Virginia Beach, these men shared the reality of their profession: maritime hostage rescues, knife fights with pirates, and high-risk missions targeting the world’s most dangerous enemies . . . then returning home to ordinary life. 

Seven weeks later, nearly all of the men Blehm interviewed were called back into action. Without hesitation, they boarded a CH-47 Chinook helicopter—call sign Extortion 17—and rushed into battle. Minutes later, an enemy rocket struck the aircraft.  All thirty-eight aboard were killed. 

In the wake of that tragedy, Adam’s story—Fearless—was released and went on to touch the hearts of millions of readers around the world. But for Blehm, the story did not end there. The men who had fought so hard to bring Adam home and to preserve his legacy had stories of their own—stories left untold. Unfinished.  

A raw and gritty memorial wrapped inside a heartrending memoir, Haunted by Heroes returns to those men, honoring their lives, their sacrifice, and the brotherhood that bound them together, ensuring that their voices, like Adam’s, will not be forgotten.
