About this listen

War is dangerous in itself but when someone is at war with themselves at the same time, it becomes even more dangerous.

Within two weeks of the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands, four men of Boat Troop, B Squadron, 22 SAS, are on the islands too.

It is the mission of these four men to gather vital intelligence, with Argentine patrols everywhere.

The rest of B Squadron are tasked with a suicide mission -- an attack on the Argentine airbase in the mainland.

In charge is a man unafraid to risk the lives of his men in search of greater personal glory.

Perfect for fans of Alex Shaw, L. T. Ryan and Chris Ryan.

Johnny "Two Combs" Howard is a bestselling author of three books based on his experiences in the Regiment. Following his military career, John worked in a variety of leadership and management roles in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Africa. He assisted in the successful release of 16 expatriate hostages in Sierra Leone and was team leader of the Families' Security Detail for the Saudi Ambassador to the United States. He was the lead mentor for emerging Iraqi Special Operations Units in Baghdad, lead instructor for the US Department of State Anti Terrorism Assistance Program in Indonesia, and chief instructor for the Special Operations Group in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Something's not right

at some point in every chapter there is a glitch, and the narration starts the begging of the last chapter. you then have the difficult task of find where you should actually be... Very frustrating! especially when you're listening whilst driving!
The only other point is the story jumps from scene to scene without any explanation as to who's in it.
Apart from that it's a great story! Some bits in there I'd not heard before.

It’s alright

A story about special forces during the Falkland Conflict.
A mix of fact and fiction. Some of fact is wrong and the fiction is a bit far fetched.

5 stars for the story and performance 0 stars for recording

The recording and playback of this books is plagued with inexcusable errors. However, I persevered with overcoming those problems and thoroughly enjoyed the book. Looking forward to the next book in the series. As for the descriptions of many of the Ruperts? How very accurate they are. As ex-military it was refreshing to read about the pole climbing supposed leaders of professionals. Well done!

Faulty recording

The recording kept making a loud sound and restarting without resetting the timer. It did this twice. I can’t rate the story properly due to the technical difficulties

horrendous

The reader doesn’t understand the abbreviations of weapons or how to pronounce naval or military words.
The chapters are out of sync.
The chapters are sometimes repeated.
The chapters end mid speech.
It’s shocking that such a good story is ruined by the reader and the editing.
Worst audible I’ve ever had.
