A good read

I thought it would be my sort of read but I found it hard going. Seemed to stretch things out a bit but as with all my reviews, this is only my opinion.

It has that unmistakable ring of truth. Great read.

Märks att boken är skriven för länge sen.

Great story???

What another fantastic tale that might or might not be fiction, who knows where the former Soviet union is concerned.
Loved it though.

[Stephen Arnott · Rating 4 out of 5]

For my money, Alexander Fullerton was one of the finest thriller writers of the 20th-century, his war service as a Royal Navy submariner giving him unique insights into military life. Sadly, hardly any of his back catalogue is still in print and none of his works are available as ebooks.

If you can hold of them, the 'SBS (Special Boat Service) trilogy', Special Deliverance, Special Deception and Special Dynamic are terrific books.

In Special Dynamic Ollie Lyle (an SBS sergeant first seen in Special Deliverance) joins a group of academics on an expedition into Lapland. There he comes across a huge Russian operation that is fostering a violent Lap separatist group as a prequel to a full-scale invasion.

This is perhaps the weakest of the SBS trilogy (the plot is a little far-fetched), but still a fine book with some great detail on arctic survival skills.
