Having used the Metasploit Unleashed project as documentation I expected this book to be a rehash of most of that material. This book is much more than that. The authors taken the steps in a typical penetration test and matched it to features and tools in the framework. At every turn of the page I found another feature of Metasploit that I didn't know about before. From scanning to post exploitation, it's all here. The authors even go into advanced topics such as fuzzing and how to write your own exploits.
The book contains the best and most extensive documentation of SET and Fast-Track to date. The book also goes the extra mile in showing readers how to configure target machines for testing. While the book does have a few minor mistakes mainly typographically in nature, it is the most well written, comprehensive infosec book I have every read on any subject.
Thanks Dave, Jim, Devon, and Mati. With Metasploit being a moving target because of continued development, I'm sure there will be many revisions moving forward.
