Summary
Ultimate soldier. Ultimate mission. But can the SAS survive working deep undercover among the terrorists of Northern Ireland?
It is the 1970s, and a mean and dirty war is being waged on British soil. Sectarian violence is an almost daily occurrence, and the terrorist groups, who finance their operations through robbery, fraud and extortion, engage in torture, assassination and wholesale slaughter.
To cope with the terrorists' activities, the British Army need the support of exceptional soldiers who can operate deep undercover - the SAS. The regiment is soon embroiled in some of the most secretive, dangerous and controversial activities in its history. These include plain-clothes work in the towns and cities, the running of operational posts in rural areas, surveillance and intelligence gathering, ambushes and daring cross-border raids.
Sniper Fire in Belfast is a nerve-jangling adventure about the most daring soldiers in military history, where friend and foe look the same and each encounter could be their last.

Average!
Average. Read many better books on "the troubels". I normally reads books more than once, probably won't with this one.

God bless bloody England. God it's worse than america
Oh good lord. God bless England and all that sail in her. Not me. Well we all know that England sucks and Brtitain gesides so let's not labour the point in a bloody book for heaven's sake. Ireland was hard done to but it's not the only country to feel the iron unforgiving heel of jackbooted almost Nazi britain in its time. The book is so badly written I got no further than chapter 2 and then all the consciience speechifying got too much. Name dropping and patriotic rubbish and all for the sake of 'doing the right thing'. No thank you. Just awful unless you are the kind of person to fall for the stupidity of patriotism and the 'we love our country just because we were born here' brigade.

Riveting Story but too short
Second book I've read in the series. Again I'm left feeling a little short changed and feel with a little more effort the story could be double the length with more opportunity to investigate the characters. Paul Thornley delivers, as always, as narrator.
