Blurb
1999. A bitterly cold morning in the Brecon Beacons, and the soldiers trying out for SAS Selection are preparing to face their toughest test yet. Overseeing the soldiers is John Porter: once a promising young Blade, now a broken man and a drunk, seeing out his days in the Regiment Training Wing.
But before the Fan Dance can begin, six masked gunmen carry out a devastating attack. Dozens of soldiers are killed. In the aftermath of the massacre, and with a government desperate for action, Porter and another surviving operator, John Bald, are taken to a secretive briefing in London. Their orders - to hunt down and kill those responsible for the attack.
What follows is a deadly game of kill or be killed as Bald and Porter lead a Strike Team across Europe on a blood-soaked mission of revenge. But as they draw closer to their ultimate target, the men discover that there is a greater threat - much closer to home...
My Opinion
This is not a book I would have chosen for myself, it was given to me in a bag of books that I am reading and then passing on. This was an okay book, but it didn't grab me. I have a few more backs to read by Chris Ryan so I will have to see if I can get used to the writing style. Looking at the reviews for this, there is a mixture with the majority of people really enjoying it - sadly it just wasn't for me.
Rating 3/5
