An interesting book that gives an insight into the main characters background and training experience. He forms friendships as they move through training and into the army and deployment.

All round good book, however for me it seems aimed at the younger reader (mid teens to 25) that said it is, as I described an easy read and flows nicely into the action and describes well some of the rigours that may have to be faced in modern soldiering. Had I not read any other McNab books (Battlefield 3, the Russian was excellent) I would have probably given it a higher rating.

A different twist on Army life. Not the usual SAS fodder but a realistic look at the life of a young lad joining the army to escape a boring and troubled home life and following the death of his friend in an accident for which he is blamed.
He is posted to Afghanistan after training, only to be placed in the same company as his dead friends’ brother who threatens to kill him, making it look like an accident under fire.
The action hots up when both are thrown together and separated from the patrol in a firefight with the taliban. It then becomes a fight for survival for them both.
Quite a gripping story for those not familiar with this type of adventure stuff, but best taken with a large pinch of b*****t

A quick an easy read. Aimed at teenagers.

What a great story brings home the awful truth of war in Afghanistan and how dare I say brave the army infantry men are. Obviously just today but throughout history.

When i started to read this book i became bored nothing happens for a long time and i was on the verge of packing in.I am glad i didn’t because once the story is set it takes off .and becomes a typical Andy McNabb full on action great second half looking forward to the next one

Non stop action, a good story. A quick read, less than 2 hrs so not great value but lots of good info and clearly written by someone with first hand experience. Loved all the tech stuff. If you like AMcN its a must read. Hope we get to read more about Liam Scott soon
