Summary
Ultimate soldier. Ultimate mission. But will the SAS be able to find an IRA sniper, before he finds them…?
1989, South Armagh: cheering mobs stand over the body of a British soldier. He is the ninth to have been killed by the so-called Border Fox, an IRA sniper whose activities have helped make this area of the United Kingdom the most feared killing ground in Western Europe.
The British government is determined to break the tightly-knit South Armagh Brigade of the IRA before more lives are lost.
The SAS men of Ulster Troop are the best in the world at surveillance, unsurpassed in counter-insurgency techniques. And now, once again, they are going to have to prove it. Their hunt for the Border Fox and the terrorists of South Armagh will be a murderous, little-publicized war in which every encounter, whether in or out of uniform, is potentially a battle to the death.

Fantastic. Gritty and fast moving.
Really enjoyed this…. And makes me want to go and look into the history of the troubles. As other reviewers have said this is like watching a big budget movie rather than a book. Would absolutely recommend

Bit far fetched could've done without at accents
Would you try another book written by Peter Corrigan or narrated by Paul Thornley?
Yes
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Drop the accents and make it a bit more believable by more detail.
Could you see Bandit Country being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
No
Any additional comments?
Thought it was OK but tried too hard to sound realistic when it really wasn't.

Enjoyable read
A very enjoyable read. The book was gripping and exciting throughout. If you like the Andy McNab books then you’ll love this one as it is written in the same style. Well narrated too.
