Summary

The sixth book in the Danny Black series. 

The attack dog had its jaws clamped round the target's forearm and had sunk its teeth into his flesh. Danny could see the dark stain of blood through his night-vision goggles. The screaming had stopped. The target was staring blindly into the darkness, but he clearly knew there were armed men approaching him....

Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The Taliban are on the rise. 

A top-secret SAS kill team is assassinating high-value targets. It is bloody, violent, relentless work, suitable only for the Regiment's most skilled and ruthless head hunters. 

Like Danny Black. 

But when Danny joins the kill team, he learns that Taliban militants are not his only problem. There are elements within the British Army who want to bring the SAS to book. And there are elements within the SAS who have their crosshairs on Danny himself. 

Framed for a sickening war crime, Danny finds himself hunted in a brutal, dangerous terrain where his wits, training and strength may not be enough to survive. 

And in a world where his enemies are closer than he could have imagined, he must do whatever it takes to get to the truth. If he fails, it will mean the end not only of Danny Black but of the SAS itself.

Story is great, narrator is painful.

The story is as good and as gripping as all the others have been. The books have great continuity between them as you feel like you are following Danny Black's career as it progresses.

My criticism now is the narrator sounds like he is in a permanent state of panic and confusion, or at least he makes pretty much all of the characters seem that way. Even the battle hardened, highly trained SF soldiers, according to the narrator, are wracked with panic and uncertainty. I can only assume he thinks this is adding to the tension but this is the last audio I will listen to on this series. Going to have to buy the rest and go back to the old fashioned way and actually read them.

Chris Ryan's books are a really good easy read with plenty of differing plots and goings on to keep the reader involved. No overly complicated language, good detailed descriptions and tense plots.
