From the breakneck pace of an opening where he is in action in
Helmand province, under fire from the Taliban, Mick Flynn pulls no
punches. It's obvious that he is a trained killer. But how did it
reach this point? The journey starts with his childhood, a working
class lad, learning to fight and finding himself repeatedly on the
wrong side of the law. Even after joining the Army he is found at
fault and jailed, an experience that finally shocks him into
behaving himself. From there, it is off to Northern Ireland and
straight into hotspots where Mick's courage and determination are
all that keep him alive. There's love too: his estranged wife,
Denise, is being brought back into the picture, just as Mick tries
to start a new life with his girlfriend Rachel. Can he manage to
separate his ferocious soldiering persona from the real Mick? As
things remain complicated, Mike flings himself into further tours
of duty, in Bosnia, Iraq, the Falklands. Action-packed,
shoots-from-the-hip narration from an engaging hero, this is gritty
realism at its most shocking.
