I purchased this book and its two sequels before finding out they were being marketed as Young Adult Fiction. Since I was familiar with "Andy McNab's" non-fiction about life in the British SAS, I decided to give them a try. I was amazed at the amount of tradecraft contained in the books, which raised them above the level of most adventure fiction. Instructive and entertaining.
