Black Ops: Libyen

Rate this book
Tripolis: 2011. Der gefährlichste Ort auf der Erde. Unit Five, ein NATO-Special Forces-Team, spezialisiert auf Black Ops, schickt zwei ihrer erfahrensten Männer in die Stadt. Der ehemalige SAS-Mann Alex Marden und der Ex-Navy Seal Jack Rogan werden losgeschickt, um ein Dokument sicherzustellen, welches, würde es in die Hände der Rebellen fallen, das Ende der Regierungen von Großbritannien und der Vereinigten Staaten bedeuten würde.

Aber sie werden schnell vom Chaos eingeholt, das mit dem Zusammenbruch des Regimes des langjährigen Diktators Oberst Zayed einhergeht.

Und sie werden in eine Verschwörung verwickelt, bei der sie absolut entbehrlich sind.

Black Ops: Libyen ist ein erschreckend realistischer Action-Thriller, direkt aus den Schlagzeilen herausgerissen.

Eine brandneue Novelle von Matt Lynn, dem Bestseller-Autor der "Death Force" Abenteuer-Thriller-Serie, darunter "Death Force", "Fire Force", "Shadow Force" und "Ice Force".

Matt Lynns Bücher haben eine Reihe von Fünf-Sterne-Bewertungen erhalten.

"Ich habe großartige Unterhaltung erwartet und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Ein fantastischer Action-Thriller. Man kann buchstäblich den Staub schmecken und das Blut riechen. "
(Daily Express)

"Matt Lynns Roman zieht mit den besten gleich, die Andy McNab oder Chris Ryan je geschrieben haben."
(News of the World)

"Großartig, realistisch und fesselnd; aufregende Front-Action"
(Chris Ryan)

"Wenn Sie ein Fan moderner militärischer Thriller sind, werden Sie an allem, was Matt Lynn schreibt, viel Freude haben ..."
(The Northern Echo)

"Für Teenager oder einfach nur für jene Männer, die nicht erwachsen werden wollen, ist Shadow Force eine großartige Lektüre. Sie mag zwar nicht intellektuell anregend sein, bereitet aber ganz sicher fantastischen Spaß."
(ABC Brisbane)

"Dies ist eine temporeiche und gut erzählte Geschichte über Heldentaten, die Unterhaltung garantiert."
(City AM)

Black Ops: Libyen ist eine spannende, zeitgenössische Abenteuergeschichte, ideal für Fans von Lee Child, Tom Clancy und Andy McNab

I am a thriller writer, living near London. 'Death Force' is the first in a series of books following a group of mercenaries around the world. It owes a lot to action, adventure writers like Alistair MacLean, and World War Two writers like Sven Hassel. It also owes a lot to Westerns. When I'm not writing thrillers, I write a financial column for Bloomberg, and I write for The Spectator.

Libya, 2011. The regime of The Colonel is about to collapse. NATO's secretive Unit 5 sends in a team including former SAS man Alex and former Navy Seal Jack to retrieve a secret document that could cause problems for the UK & USA were it to fall into the wrong hands.

This novella is so topical it sounded like a great read and for me this is one of the beauties of e-books, the speed with which an author can respond to world events and have a work published. The material, a black ops team sent into hostile territory then forsaken by their masters needing to cover up dubious politics, has been done before but I have no problem with variations on a theme when they are done well.

Unfortunately, while there were some good action parts, had this been a full length novel I'm not sure I'd have persevered with it. There were issues with spelling, grammar and punctuation, and in places the narrative could do with some tweaking. I found myself getting really exasperated with basic errors like the use of "you're" rather than "your". I found myself wondering if proofreading was sacrificed in favour of making the book available as soon as possible.

I didn't feel any connection with the main characters, and other than knowing that Unit 5 was made up of personnel who had been in some sort of trouble I didn't get any real feeling for who they were or what they looked like. Finally the ending seemed weak and wasn't particularly satisfying. I don't like to include spoilers in my reviews so it's hard to explain exactly why, but the bottom line was it didn't seem credible.

As it was topical and had some nice action it wasn't a 1* book, but I'd struggle to say more than it was okay.

Pathetic, tries to explain the unexplainable of why America & the Zionists invaded Libya. Reminds me a little what they did to the Red Indians & to the Palestinians! They stole our country that is a FACT.
