Summary
Set in modern-day Afghanistan, the fascinating story of a very young behind-the-lines British agent and a chance saving of 20 captured girls condemned to a life of slavery and abuse. The Afghan girls and the agent form an alliance. As time passes, the 20 Afghan girls support the agent, a 17-year-old specialist known only as "The Commander", in a number of covert and very dangerous missions. Then love and fate join hands, and the team decides to join the agent full time. They train endlessly, the oldest 17, the youngest just 12. This is done with the help of a female British army officer who helps fashion the team into a military fighting unit.
From horror, rejection, shame, and adversity, the Afghan girls become a unique fighting unit, excelling at all they do, their lives like steel forged in fire, now so strong.
This is the first book in a series of six.

Fascinating story that includes all sorts
All sorts of plots and sub plots in this story. A very young man, actually, not even a man, starts a life's journey the like of which you've never heard of. Adventure follows incredible adventure as he is joined by fighting girls, yes, girls, deeply spiritual events, Sandhurst and two Tigers. Throw in Brits, Yanks and Russkies as well as a few robots and you see the idea? You never will until you read or listen to this story.
I thought Graham Mack did a first rate job of reading this book for us and I've already got book two lined up, ready to go.

Unrealistic and Farcical
This books seems to be written for teenagers and should be labeled under Fantasy because nothing in the book is realistic. The lead in the story is only 17 years old and in short, the sun shines out his butt. From the start he is sent into missions alone then quickly commands adult military veteran's without issue, always achieving his goals. He learnt how to master traditional Japanese blades over night from an American, and was even better than the Japanese Master himself. He miraculously became best friends with two wild tigers without ever communicating with them, and they fought battles alongside him wherever he went. He rescued 20 Afghan girls who were all found naked, but they all jumped up to fight alongside him and the other men while still naked. In fact all the girls in this book just kept walking around naked for no reason. I don't think the author understands that the last thing children would do having been raped/sexually abused, and been through trauma is to run around naked in front of strange men all the time.
The hero never fails at anything which makes for a boring read especially when a lot of the narrative is constantly repeated. For ex, the author constantly makes a point of saying the hero easily wins the mission, strips off his clothes with the girls to bath and sleep naked with the tigers, they wake up and drink cold coffee, the girls march and sing marching songs for hours, he is honoured with medals by different countries, he's asked to give a talk in front of the military bigwigs about his achievements and is then given another mission. This pattern of events repeat throughout the book a number of times. I did not find it entertaining. The narrator did a good job though.
I was given a copy of this book for free of my own choosing and have voluntarily left this review.
