There is a great review of 'Death Force' in the Daily Express.
"I’VE long been a fan of Andy McNab’s SAS-style thrillers, and a complete sucker for caper movies, so I was anticipating a good time long before I settled back with Matt Lynn’s military adventure – and I wasn’t to be disappointed.
A former journalist, Lynn has helped write several similar books with other authors and
he’s brought all that experience to bear in this cracking action thriller. The location is Afghanistan’s notorious Helmand Province, where the British Army is being hamstrung in
its efforts to quash the Taliban by their over-cautious masters back in the UK.
It doesn’t help that the bad guys are being funded by a local drugs baron, whose millions allow them to afford all the latest weaponry.
That’s where Dudley Emergency Forces, or DEF, come in. What prefers to be known these days as a Private Military Corporation, it specialises in supplying well-trained, experienced
veterans to do the jobs the regulars aren’t allowed to. The money may be better, but the
chances of ending up a bloody corpse are even greater, that’s why they call it Death Inc.
Former SAS man Steve West is charged with putting together a 10-man team to take
down the drug dealer and stop the supply of arms to the Taliban. The sweetener? They get to keep the $50million in diamonds and gold he keeps stashed away in his fortress.
Simple, all they have to do is arm themselves, come up with a plan and storm an impregnable compound in one of the most deadly environments on Earth while knowing that, if anything
goes wrong, they’re on their own.
In a tale that combines the effects of Three Kings and Dogs of War, you can taste the dust and smell the blood as Steve and his hastily thrown-together team go into battle against what they
expect to be a formidable foe... and some foes they didn’t expect to be facing at all.
Lynn plans Death Force to be the first in a series. I can’t wait to read the rest."
