About this listen

 Never has there been a more graphic account of the SAS in action, never a thriller so authentically grounded in the twists and turns of undercover warfare. This sequel to The One That Got Away is a work of "faction".

Wounded in the Gulf War, Geordie Sharp, a sergeant in the SAS, returns to Hereford to find his home life in tatters. As he trains with Northern Ireland Troop, a murder in his family fires him with personal hatred of the IRA. Posted to Belfast, he discovers that his adversary is Declan Farrell, a leading player in the Provisional IRA. Sharp sets out to stalk and kill his man.

Critic reviews

"Hard as nails." ( Mirror)
"Tough, high-testosterone stuff, gripping." ( Glasgow Herald)
"Ryan has come up with a big-balled romp that's just dying to be read in the company of a beer, a sun lounger, and a holiday in the Mediterranean." ( Maxim)

story holds your attention. Very well portrayed characters. Held interest all through. Ending came to abrupt and left you hanging. Unless for some reason not all book was downloaded!

Excellent story

The story appears to stop half way after 2hr45 and you have to buy the next book to get the rest. Also seems to be narrated by what sounds like an elderly gnome with a very poor Geordie accent that he forgets about after an hour then remembers for the last half an hour

Too short bad narration

I have read several Chris Ryan books and been impressed, don't know what went wrong here.

### VERRY POOR ###

The title says it all. Dated and laughable to anyone who knows anything about the facts. His Iraq war book was ripped apart by BBC research so would this one if anyone could be bothered.

dated

Expensive for short of 2 hours. Not worth a whole credit . My own fault for not checking

Not what I remember, should be free
