Death Force Review In City AM

There is a great review of Death Force in City AM by Jeremy Hazlehurst. "'The sweat and smoke and stench of a Baghdad brothel at two in the morning are enough to turn even the strongest stomach,' begins this novel, and it goes unrelentingly on in the same zippy, devil-may-care vein." After a brief description, it continues. "Their world is drawn with skill and detail - people keep blood plasma in the fridge and take rocket propelled grenades into bars - and for all its bravado and machismo, it is a belivable setting, with its black humour and brutal violence, hard-drinking and casual sex. And while these boys are tough, they're not to tough to wear chinos or iron their jeans. If you like this sort of thing, this is a well-told, cracking tale of manly doings in a shadowy environment."
