Sorry about any spelling mistakes as I am rushing.
Okay, over the past few months I have asked for your opinions on this book and I promise I will credit the YA community for your feedback. I have completed and I am editing parts of the book and extending parts I need. All I want is your final opinions and anything that would make you more interested.
My book is based in the year 2016 and is about an American/English military unit nicknamed Ironsights. Their job is to use stealth and tactic to take down the enemy using top noch and secret gear such as a Distorter, which distorts your image and makes you invisable to the eye as long as you stand still. They take down high value terrorist leaders and take down black markets and drug dealings faster and more effectively than any known force. In this book, they start a case following a mass distribution of firearms and weapon amunition. It quickly turns out that this isn’t the only case and that all over the world, black markets are spreading weapons across the globe for an unknown reason. The Ironsights job is to find out what is going on and how all the terrorist cells and organisations are linked. And, most importantly, take down its leader. This takes them on several missions, from capturing an oil refinory to capturing a target in the middle of a city during rush hour. They must progress quickly as hundreds of countries start pointing fingers at each other.
This is built on realitism and contains some violent scenes. It is about action, stealth and every character will have plenty of adaption. I have taken my time and made it smooth.
I welcome your opinion as you are the people who might read this some day. Thank you for all your help.

Final Stages Of My Book “ironsight.” What Do You Think And How Can It Be Improved?
Posted on October 2, 2011.
It makes sense up to here:
“The Ironsights job is to find out what is going on and how all the terrorist cells and organisations are linked.”
Why would an assassination unit be given an intelligence job? This has nothing to do with what you say their job is.
You need to decide what their role and skills are.
I’m also struggling rather with the entire premise. “all over the world, black markets are spreading weapons across the globe”? Yes, and? This isn’t new, it isn’t surprising, and it certainly isn’t something which desperately needs to be fixed right now this minute.
It’s an original and very interesting plot… if I saw this in a bookstore I’d definitely pick it up! I think it’s very nice. I look forward to reading this when it becomes a bestseller.
It sounds interesting. I like the idea, but I’m worried there won’t be enough drama to make it more than just a big slaughter-fest.
Personally, I think it would be a very interesting read if there were politics behind the group. You know, red tape they have to cut through, that kind of stuff. It would certainly make things more realistic, because I’m sure even Black Ops groups face political adversity.
Also, it would be cool if there was a sort of PTSD or regret for the killings that they all have to do. After all, killing a man also kills part of yourself…
All in all, I like the idea. It’s not my normal read, but I think I’d at least check out the first few chapters.
