* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Many of the antagonists and side players seem to have an intimate understanding of American tactics. For example, the compound where the prisoners are held is built on a mountain to discourage ground attacks, and close to a village plus an area where children are gathered every day, simply to use as human shields from American drone strikes. The hills are also loaded with heavy machine guns to ward off helicopter assaults.

''Black Site: A Delta Force Novel'' is a military thriller by Dalton Fury (not his real name), published in 2012. It tells the adventures of Kolt Raynor, a former [[UsefulNotes/TheModernDayRambo Delta Force]] commander who was thrown out of the Unit after [[MyGreatestFailure a botched mission in Pakistan]]. In the three years since this happened, he has descended into a life of working odd jobs and much [[DrowningMySorrows drinking]] but is pulled out of the hole he crawled into by his old commanding officer for one last mission -- one that could mean redemption.

!''Black Site'' contains examples of:
*ArmsFair: A town-sized version in the form of Darra Adam Khel. Raynor comments that anyone who wanted to scout the place would be safer if they took the more "dangerous" route of walking among the people rather than hiding in the mountains with binoculars, since this is the direction that most prospective customers test fire the merchandise.
*ColonelBadass: T.J., who personally lead the Quick Reaction Force to rescue Raynor during the botched mission to Pakistan. Pete Grauer was a former Colonel Badass in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Oh yeah, there's also Jeremy Webber, the commander of Delta Force.
*DressingAsTheEnemy: A key part of the bad guys' plan involves disguising jihadists as a platoon of Rangers.
*MajorlyAwesome: That's Major Kolt Raynor to you.
*SdrawkcabName: T.J.'s nickname is just his initials reversed -- James Timble.
*TrainingFromHell: Since Raynor has let himself go, Delta is forced to train him back up again, which involves three weeks of intense mountain warfare training and language instruction. They summarize it as forcing him to go through Selection ''again''.
*WesternTerrorists: Played with. The main mastermind, Daoud al Amriki, is an American jihadist (although his ethnicity is never given; he is stated to be a convert) and the key players in the plan are a group of Chechens who, while they have some Turkish features, can pass for white Americans at a distance.
