Man Mission: Four Men, Fifteen Years, One Epic Journey, written by Eytan Uliel, is an adventure novel about the adventures of four men. The four men, Sam, Alec, Daniel, and the narrator, had created a tradition where they would go on an adventure trip annually. They called the adventures "Man Missions" and had rules such as each should travel at their power and was for men only. They traveled to different places where they faced different encounters. The encounters were a ride with drug dealers in New Zealand, seeing a roaring lion in Kruger National Park in South Africa, trekking in Machu Picchu in Peru, and ice climbing in Iceland, with extremely low temperatures. Their adventures involved moving from one point to another, so they used different modes of transport depending on the place. The commonly used transport modes were kayaking, hiking, and cycling. They were all married and had families except Alec, who was unlucky in love and engaged in many relationships which were not successful.

What I liked most in this book was the descriptive content in it. The author described the places the four men went on adventures well, enabling the reader to create a mental picture. Some of the places he described well were the adventure in New Zealand, where they went in a tent, and they heard footsteps created fear, but they found it was a herd of cows, and in Japan, where they had to cycle for long distances. The author described the scene so well that you can feel the narrator and Sam's tension. I also liked the use of dialogue in conversations between characters which made the characters engaging.

I did not find anything to dislike in this book. The flow was great when the author discussed how their friendship began and how they began going on "Man Missions" to strengthen their friendship.

I rate Man Mission: Four Men, Fifteen Years, One Epic Journey by Eytan Uliel four out of four stars. The book was professionally edited since I found only one error. The descriptive content of the book was good, making the reader enjoy the adventures. Even though the book had one error, it would be unfair to deduct a star given the nature of the descriptive content, hence, the rating.

I recommend this book to lovers of adventure novels. It would be helpful since the book contains the adventures of four men in different places. The author explains the adventures in detail, and lovers of adventure stories would love the book. Readers should not be offended by erotic scenes and profanities since the book contain them.
