I thought the book was brilliant, Micheal Asher knows what he’s talking about unlike you lot who don’t know what your on about gettin roles of characters and names wrong so don’t say Asher doesn’t know what he’s talking about he’s ex SAS but other than that the book is excellent.

What a fantastic book,got me hooked straight away.One can feel the sand the in the mouth and the heat beating down,it’s like being transported into the story and don’t forget to duck for cover.I’ve read the second book,The flaming sword and again i was hooked even got a tan and a few battle scares.Can’t wait for the sequel…

Can I volunteer to be the proofreader for the next book. It is an exciting read, a thoroughly implausible tale in the best Commando Comic style, but there are spelling mistakes, some anomalies within the text, and yes there are some very odd descriptive words.

Could have been 9/10 but only 7/10 because of the errors.

I had high hopes for this book unfortunately the amount of made up words and misused words are just distracting me too much. I agree with the reviewer and Richard in that the author is just trying too hard. If there are to be more books please please please stop using the word leaguered when the correct word is laagered, and falaise does NOT mean gap!
5/10

I absolutely disagree with the reviewer as i have read the book 3 times round and it still grabs me with the excitement and intense scenes!

Overall i would rate it 10/10 no doubt

I tend to agree with the reviewer.

It’s a good exciting read, but the attempts to add metaphorical imagery to such things as blood splatter, flying shrapnel and explosions (to name but a few, and there are many, oh so many!) tends to distract more than little.

It reads a little like someone who knows, and can write about, war, but also wants somehow to include poets and romantics into his target audience.
Just comes across as bit try-hard, unfortunately.

i purchased this book a couple of weeks ago- and considering i’m only on page 80, i’m hooked!
This book offers so much depth, well i suppose Michael Asher himself has been in the SAS, which would mean he knows a fair bit about weaponary and war.
Overall i would rate this book…
8/10
