Product Description

Product Description

Tripoli: 2011. The most dangerous place on earth. Unit Five, a NATO Special Forces squad specialising in Black Ops, drops two of its most experienced men into the city. Former SAS man Alex Marden and ex-Navy Seal Jack Rogan are sent to retrieve a document that, if it fell into the hands of rebel forces, would cause the downfall of the British and American governments.

But they are soon caught up in the chaos surrounding the collapse of the regime of the old dictator Colonel Zayed.

And they are thrown into a conspiracy in which only they are expendable.

Black Ops: Libya is a terrifyingly realistic action thriller ripped straight from the headlines.

It is a brand-new novella from Matt Lynn, the best-selling author of the ‘Death Force’ series of adventure thrillers, including ‘Death Force’, ‘Fire Force’, ‘Shadow Force’ and ‘Ice Force’.

Matt Lynn's books have received a series of five-star reviews.

'I was anticipating a good time and I wasn't disappointed. A cracking action thriller. You can taste the dust and smell the blood'

(Daily Express )

'Matt Lynn's novel is up there with the finest that Andy McNab or Chris Ryan have ever penned'

(News of the World )

'Brilliant, realistic and riveting; blistering front-line action'

(Chris Ryan )

"If you're a fan of modern military thrillers you're going to have fun with anything Matt Lynn writes..."

(The Northern Echo)

"For teenage boys or simply for those men who don't want to grow up, Shadow Force is a cracking read. Intellectually stimulating it ain't; fantastic fun it most certainly is."

(ABC Brisbane)

'This is a fast-paced and well-told tale of derring-do that guarantees entertainment."

(City AM)

Black Ops: Libya is a thrilling, contemporary adventure story, perfect for fans of Lee Child, Tom Clancy and Andy McNab

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great, Concise Read 18 Nov 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I was interested by the premise of this story, a novella about the Libyan war published straight after it happened, and once I got into it, I was pleased I had. It is a racy conspiracy story that takes you right inside the downfall of Tripoli, and gives you a sense of what it might be like for the special forces boy operating there. Great entertainment, with some realism as well. Highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing 10 Feb 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
As a serving soldier I found reading this story to be quite insulting. The author has clearly done very little in the way of research and quite frankly the plot itself is laughable.
Add to that a rather long list of spelling mistakes and you simply have a very poorly conceived product.

Please save your time and money and avoid.

1.0 out of 5 stars i really have to stop buying trash 8 Nov 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
quite a shock, in so much as how bad this book really is i have read one or two of his paper offerings and they were quite good on equal terms with Chris Ryan if not to the standard of Andy McNab. these e novels are dire at one point there is a scene early on where the side of the transit type van they are racing along a dry desert road keeping pace with Jeeps is riddled with BulletS and no one is hit ? the lead hero is carrying an sa80 (no special forces uses them as they are un reliable and a cumbersome weapon) the team don't really know each other and are made up of different nationality and apparently all work together fine ? total fantasy and a poor fantasy at that.
avoid these books there are better out there.

1.0 out of 5 stars Childish rubbish 20 May 2012

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Absolute rubbish. The author clearly has no military experience and no knowledge of combat, equipment, ballistics or anything else related to the military.

OK so this book has some plus points, fast paced and set in a 'current' location and action a plenty. However there is little research and it is not very convincing. There is a scene where the 'black ops' unit take a Renault Kangoo Van and chase a pair of Land Rovers, across rough terrain whilst shooting out of the side. Lynn claims that the van would shield the team from rounds er... no they would cut through the side like butter. Then later on they buy an old Golf GTI for $3000, in a war zone. It would have been at least $10,000 if the owner had even have wanted to part with it. The characters also are paper thin and unconvincing. I admire what Lynn was trying to do but rather than fiction it is fantasy, escapism not a thriller. It reads very much like a rough first draft. I had thought about trying his other books but now will not bother. My advice stick with the other SAS authors.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deeply disapointing 2 Feb 2012
By ned
Format:Kindle Edition
I was expecting more from this book based on the reviews. It was written in a such a simplistic style that I found myself wondering if this book had gone from first draft directly to print. The characters are unconvincing and impossible to engage with.
The action sequences would leave anyone with any military experience either groaning or laughing. This author will not be featuring in future searches.
