General Comments

Not a bad writing style. Quite absorbing in the style of Andy McNab or Geoff Thompson. Make your own mind up by all means but this is not a 100% truthful account. It really annoyed me that the country and place names were all false. What has the author got to hide? I am guessing that this book is not as factual as he would like us to think it is and is more of a publicity stunt in an attempt to advertise his martial arts club. The story also seemed very far fetched. I am not aware of any foreign military special forces units that need to come to Worcesterhire to recruit teenagers. It's up to you to decide why the author has done this.

    A little cynical I think...did you actually read it all the way? It's a fantastic read and an incredible story that actually took place - if I was the author I would not want people to know where it happened either!
