Review

'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 )

Product Description

A riveting military action adventure novel - Band of Brothers mets Andy McNab in a story of hard nosed mercenaries. In Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan, the British are fighting an increasingly desperate battle to contain a resurgent Taliban. The British commander knows the Taliban control the heroin trade, which brings in vast amounts of money for weapons. They back a covert mercenary unit to steal the drug lords' money. The deal: they will get intelligence and logistical support from the British Army, and in return they get to keep the money. The unit is put together by DEF's best man, Steve West; vastly experienced and ex SAS. But the men from Death Inc. find themselves fighting a desperate rearguard action through the lawless badlands of southern Afghanistan, and al-Queda-controlled northern Pakistan...

Format:Paperback
In general well written and fluent.
But ... so many inconsistencies and so many errors in the art of war make this book lose the 3 stars.
For someone who looks for adventure type of a book (a teenager?) - may be good enough.
For someone with some military background - avoid - you'll be frustrated and won't reach the end of the book.

Still, there is something about the book as I read it to the end, but... just be aware.

GOOD READ 13 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Something a bit different where it's money that drives guys when up against the Taliban, but you still feel for the characters even though the old King and Country bit is missing in this story! Wee bit predictable towards end, won't spoil it by revealing the ending but read it yourself and find out!

Very Poor 5 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
This is probably one of the worst books I have ever read. It is poorly written and researched. I'm all for escapism but this is in the realms of fantasy. There are so many inaccuracies in this book that it ceased to be enjoyable. I enjoy reading military thrillers as they usually have a sense of realism in the tradecraft described. This on the other hand has the author making it up as he goes along. For example the practice of having one person zero everybody else's weapon is ludicrous. The fact that this supposed crack unit only trained together for 2 days and most of that was spent drinking vodka, is laughable. It gets worse as the story goes on. The characters, as well as the story is unbelievable, it has no depth, so ultimately you don't really care what happens. The author has supposedly ghost written stories for soldiers turned novelists. It is clear he has learnt nothing from them.
