About this audiobook

Ultimate soldier. Ultimate mission. But will the SAS be able to outfox the IRA as they prepare a deadly reprisal?

May 1987: a successful SAS ambush results in the deaths of eight IRA terrorists in Loughgall. Knowing that retaliation is certain, and that Gibraltar has been selected by the IRA as a ‘soft’ target associated with British imperialism, British intelligence goes on the alert.

The book was ok given it was mostly fiction but the narrator could have at least done more research in how to pronounce words the way Irish names and words are actually pronounced. If he'd done that the book would have been more believable.
