Reviews

[Leensey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Let my fast reading rate and 4-5 star ratings speak for this series: it is truly breathtaking. Non-stop action that I cannot put down and has me feeling the intensity and exhaustion of the cadets right there with them.

Without spoiling details, I must highlight a standout moment when I feared a certain character's fate. Thankfully, this merry band of highly trained orphans have such a bond and loyalty to each other, that they always--and I mean ALWAYS-- have each other's backs.

Whether that means trusting each other completely by allowing another to do what needs to be done, or by never leaving someone behind no matter what, the Special Forces Cadets have cemented a very special place in my heart as a chaotic found family with a heart of gold and a determination of steel.

Very good and engrossing spy fiction novel

A wide range of descriptive eye catching vocabularies, wide range of grammar(semi-colons,explanation .arms etc.) A great plot and storyline. Overall a great book, I was hooked after 1 chapter and finished in 3h!

Really had me stressed towards the end, I was sure that at least one of the characters would die. Im curious to see if the romance becomes full fledged in the final book, and whether the cadets will continue on

Love the Falklands Islands setting. Daft story, daft teenagers, unlikely adult handlers. Suspend reality and all will be well.

4 stars.

[Stefan Bowling · Rating 3 out of 5]

Didn’t find this one as good as the previous four in the series. However twists and turns in the book made it a gripping read but just not as gripping as the previous.

Gripping, fast-moving and exciting

4.5 stars.

Sad to be nearly finished this series but haven't been able to put them down!

[Elizabeth Thacker · Rating 3 out of 5]

The action and plot are fun as always but Chris Ryan, good as he is at many things, is very much not a romance writer.

[Mr Kenneth L Mullen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great story

Another great story in the Special Forces Cadets series with lots of action and a storyline that keeps you gripped from start to finish. So the usual strong characters who are portrayed so realistically that you feel that you know them personally.
