Rating: - Outstanding
Wow!
I finished reading this at 1 am last night. I was gripped from the start. It has a really simple style, but manages to get in a great deal of technical stuff, moving and funny human stories, and a bit of background on the British Army presencein Afghanistan. The flying and combat sequences are great, and the final showdown is terrific. By far the best book on modern combat I have read for years.

Rating: - Fabulous Fiction
This is real boys own stuff. What a story, if only it were true, which sadly the majority is not. If you like the old commando comics then this and Andy Mcnab's stuff will be right up your ally. But if you prefer to read about real heroics then go for some of the other books recounting the stories of our troops on HERRICK 5.

How do I know it's not true, well being in the AAC gives you an inside track.

Rating: - Great read
Ed Macy describes his (many) experiences in the British Army / mainly Army Air Corps in superb detail (with the help of Tom Newton Dunn - defence correspondent for The Sun newspaper). The role and dedication of an Apache attack helicopter pilot / gunner is brought to life in scintillating style. This really is a cracking read - I cannot recommend it highly enough. Action packed, emotionally descriptive and technologically fascinating.
