This book was fantastic in many ways. Fast paced, lots of details about the character's history and also the rise of the Taliban and Al Quieda. The narration was excellent and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. The only thing I found disappointing and why I decided to rate it 4 out of 5 stars was the ending. I just felt like after the effort the author had obviously gone to in his research in to the army, MI5 and terrorist groups the ending let the book down a lot. Don't let this discourage you though, it is overall a fabulous and thrilling read, just don't expect a huge climactic ending.

Review of the Afghan

Technical and very detailed in parts. I learned a lot about Afghan fighters and fundamentalists. Felt bogged down in parts but finally a believable and exciting ending resulted

Worth persevering

Enjoyable, though presumably at least a little fictional view of worldwide secret services and their operational capabilities. Unfortunately this is wound round some barely believable events and plot.

Too many unbelievable coincidences
