Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A bit of fun that's about as unrealistic as any Hollywood action movie and is amateurishly written and edited. Don't bother.I have been into SAS fiction and non-fiction for some years now, and have read Ryan's, McNab's and Michael Asher's books on the Bravo Two Zero mission. I must firstly admit to having nearly had my fill of the whole ex-SAS hardguy fiction genre now, but I bought this in an airport when I just wanted to sit down and read something that's nothing more than a bit of fun. I had my fun - but had no satisfaction finishing the book; I felt that I had wasted precious hours instead of that feeling of achievement one should experience at the end of a good novel. The plot is a bit silly but acceptable. Less forgiveable is the terrible editing (especially since the book is dedicated to Ryan's publishing team!); not only are there some bad typos, ...

I have read The One That Got Away and it was excellent about the first hand experience which he went on the Guiness Record for escaping 290 kilometres from Iraq to Syria. Before I red the Ultimate Weapon, I was hoping that I would get a very good book about a small Special Force Team, which turn out, however, not to be as good as it seems to be. Feelings At first when I read this book, it was very boring. It started with a walk in the mountains to the mission where Jed was pinned down.

Now I know it was not a good decision. The story is one of the worst I have read. For me Mr. Ryan has significantly lowered his standards and his book are no more worth my time. I don't enjoy them. I struggled very hard to get to the end and finally ...I gave up. Look elsewhere for a good read. Rating:  - An Excellent readI have read a lot of the Chris Ryan books and i must say this one was great i just wanted to keep reading and reading story line was great and the action was gripping but the end seemed to fade a little but overall a great book Rating: - One To ManySorry Chris this was rubbish!.I have read all of your books and this was one to many as far as I am concerned.The two main characters getting severe beatings and injuries every single day but still carry on as though nothing is wrong,get in the real world Chris, any one of there injuries would have laid us mere mortals up for months in hospital. |
