About this audiobook

A hands-on, practical survival guide from retired Navy SEAL Clint Emerson—adapted for civilians from actual special forces operations—to eluding pursuers, evading capture, and surviving any dangerous situation.

In today’s increasingly dangerous world, threats to your personal safety are everywhere. From acts of terror to mass shootings, and from the unseen (and sometimes virtual) matrix of everyday crime, danger is no longer confined to dark alleys or unstable regions. Potentially life-threatening circumstances can arise anywhere, anytime, and Clint Emerson—former Navy SEAL—wants you to be prepared.

100 Deadly Skills contains proven self-defense skills, evasion tactics, and immobilizing maneuvers—modified from the world of black ops—to help you take action in numerous “worst case” scenarios from escaping a locked trunk, to making an improvised Taser, to tricking facial recognition software. With easy-to-understand instructions and illustrations, Emerson outlines in detail many life-saving strategies and teaches you how to think and act like a member of the special forces.

This complete course in survival teaches you how to prevent tracking, evade a kidnapping, elude an active shooter, rappel down the side of a building, immobilize a bad guy, protect yourself against cyber-criminals, and much more—all using low-tech to “no-tech” methods. Clear, detailed, and presented in an easy-to-understand and execute format, 100 Deadly Skills is an invaluable resource. Because let’s face it, when danger is imminent, you don’t have time for complicated instructions.

    Fun read and listen, probably only half of the skills can be relatable to civilian life but still the ones which are can definitely be implemented if caught in the unfortunate situation.

    I liked this book for a number of reasons. I really enjoy Emerson’s straight forward writing style.

    It’s written for someone like me who isn’t familiar with this topic, so I appreciated how he broke down many concepts and explained why certain things would be a priority. Many of the strategies and suggestions he mentions, I would never have thought of in a million years.

    Overall, I would recommend trying this book if you are interested.

    Both fascinating terrifying, 100 Deadly Skills is a laundry list of tactics and tools for the paranoid and the subversive. The hero is a “Violent Nomad” out on a secret mission to undermine some other power. He must avail himself of a carload of (common) tools and equipment to be ready for anything at any time. He must constantly be on the lookout for attackers and weaknesses.It is amazing what a little common sense and a little insight can produce. Most of it is easy to follow and replicate. Some of it is not: In case of explosions, lie (face down) on the floor with mouth open (to prevent pressure from rupturing lungs) and feet towards the explosion with fingers interlaced behind the head (to protect brain). And cross your feet to avoid temporal nerve damage. You have half a second to remember and execute.As I read, I couldn’t help feeling that this was a great instruction book for kids and terrorists. Publishing easy-to-follow directions for making a Taser out of a disposable camera, a flash bomb out of a lighter, why soap is an important ingredient in Molotov cocktails and how to turn a newspaper into a deadly weapon are not necessarily the instructions we should be spreading. There are instructions for breaking into anyone’s home through the garage, any hotel room with a handle doorknob, and into anyone’s luggage without damage or trace.There is an astounding amount of information here, and a prop list that makes it all but impossible to carry out. That Navy SEALs must learn, internalize and simply know all of this and be prepared to execute on it anywhere, any time, is awesome.David Wineberg
