This is the second book by Mr. Bencie which I have read. To put it quite succinctly, Mr. Bencie has a far better grip on reality than most security professionals. His practical and level-headed advice should make this current book mandatory reading for all security professionals, not just those planning to go into the security consulting business.

I am a co-managing director of Poros International, LLC, and like many consultants, there's an ever changing supply and demand that one needs to stay ahead of the curve When I picked up this book several months ago, the first thing I did was turn to chapter 6, “Ten Commandments for Success” Luke Bencie explains several simple kernels of wisdom to be successful in global security consulting.Reading just that section alone took me less than ten minutes, and I was convinced me to double check my business model.
