A good introductory to the different ways of using Metasploit. Since I had already some previous experience using Metasploit my favorite chapters were the one covering usage of Meterpreter and how to create your own module or how to port your own exploits to Metasploit framework. In the end of the book there was also a nice chapter how to set up a small and vulnerable network for testing different attacks which I also found a good addition to the book.
Probably one of the best penetration testing books I have ever read. You will need basic linux knowledge and a backtrack distro to be able to get most of this book. It first teaches you the basics of Metasploit then you go deeper and deeper.
some of the commands are outdated however I am pretty sure a hacker like you can manage to get him/herself updated.
And remember: Hugs are always better than handshakes !!;-)

Its david kennedy you really can't say any thing else. Your going to get the best from the best.
Covers everything you need to know about the Metasploit framework. No more no less. I liked it.
This book is great for anyone trying to pick up advanced metasploit methodology. Great as a reference and for first timers that want a complete walk through.
