#193 | Don Bentley | Author OUTSIDE MAN | Apache Pilot | FBI Agent

Don Bentley stopped by The Protectors to talk about his new book OUTSIDE MAN.  Don is at the top of his game with this generation of authors in the thriller genre from Jack Carr to Andrews & Wilson.  Don is setting his own path with a different type of protagonist; one that can use HUMINT collection like a scalpel and use the tools of the combatant trade when needed, equally lethal in both spectrums.  

About Don: Don Bentley spent a decade as an Army Apache helicopter pilot during which time he was stationed in South Korea, Germany, and Texas.  While deployed to Afghanistan as a Troop Commander in support of Operation Enduring Freedom VI, Don was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and the Air Medal with “V” device for valor.  Following his time in the military Don worked as an FBI Special Agent and was a member of the Dallas Office Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team.  Since leaving the FBI, Don has worked for a number of companies that develop technology for the U.S. Special Operations Community.
