[G DAVIES + M DAVIES · Rating 5 out of 5]

Superb book

Having read the first book I knew this was going to be good. It builds slowly developing the story and the characters then accelerates as the plot works its way towards the crescendo. I am normally a slow reader but found d I couldn't put it down. Just needed to know what would happen next. As I have said superb. Can't wait for the next book.

A cliff hanger which enables you to understand the difficulty in Afghanistan

A book which does not hold its punches. Even In todays troubled world we in the West have it so easy! Although fiction it makes you think how hard it is to live and exist in this wartorn country!

Great yarn

One of the best for holding the attention. Not sure the technical detail was wholley accurate but the story line was excellent.

[Livros de Vidro]

Como refere a sinopse este história desenrola-se durante um cenário de guerra em que o protagonista é inserido numa equipa para descobrir e desmantelar minas armadilhadas.

Mas não será apenas isso que terá de fazer, pois terá de descobir onde os terroristas escondem os stinger's (mísseis mortíferos) fornecidos pelo seu próprio governo.

Sean, queria fugir da sua vida anterior, mas, com esta nova aventura, vê-se confrontado com os fantasmas o passado.

Quanto à minha opinião sobre esta história, só posso dizer que se leu bem.

¡¡Me encanto!!
Tengo que ser sincera, al principio no lo encontré nada interesante hasta que leí lo que le sucedió al vuelo Be Zeta 169. Me metí de lleno en la lectura a tal punto que podía sentir los nervios y el miedo. John Nichol pudo transmitir con cada detalle los lugares donde transcurre la historia y los sentimientos de los personajes para hacerte sentir como si estuvieras en la misma.

This is a cracking story set against the high lands of Afghanistan where Sean Reivers is pitted against Afghanistan warlords and Taiwan Zealots in a battle to stop stingers downing commercial airlines.
