The New Recruit

What a great story brings home the awful truth of war in Afghanistan and how dare I say brave the army infantry men are. Obviously just today but throughout history.

A quick an easy read. Aimed at teenagers.

So well written tool me back to when I was a recruitAt Pirbright training,a the same it would seem.com

A different twist on Army life. Not the usual SAS fodder but a realistic look at the life of a young lad joining the army to escape a boring and troubled home life and following the death of his friend in an accident for which he is blamed.He is posted to Afghanistan after training, only to be placed in the same company as his dead friends' brother who threatens to kill him, making it look like an accident under fire.The action hots up when both are thrown together and separated from the patrol in a firefight with the taliban. It then becomes a fight for survival for them both.Quite a gripping story for those not familiar with this type of adventure stuff, but best taken with a large pinch of b*****t

Very interesting to listen to and very well written

Non stop action, a good story. A quick read, less than 2 hrs so not great value but lots of good info and clearly written by someone with first hand experience. Loved all the tech stuff. If you like AMcN its a must read. Hope we get to read more about Liam Scott soon

When i started to read this book i became bored nothing happens for a long time and i was on the verge of packing in.I am glad i didn't because once the story is set it takes off .and becomes a typical Andy McNabb full on action great second half looking forward to the next one

You are hooked after the first few pages.
