"The first of our section had reached the walls of the building. The other sections were moving around the side when there was a sudden flash, an explosion and screams. The night was then lit by the flashes of guns and the sound of shots. We had been spotted. This was not the time to panic. We had to keep going and complete our part of the mission."
Commando is a tale of courage and brotherhood that will resonate with anyone who has ever faced their fears in pursuit of a greater good.
The explosive first mission in Griff Hosker's action-packed 12-part Combined Operations series. A must-read for fans of Ben Kane, Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow and Anthony Riches. Lock and load -the war is just getting started.
