Th weather's been crap lately and so there's little else for me to do but pick up reading again and as i'd exhausted my libraries supply of decective thrillers i went for this one called Death Force.
When i picked it up i thought i would be about some hardened ex SAS who single-handedly takes on and defeats the entire of Afganistan but i was pleasantly suprised(ish) by what it actually about.

Ok, this hardened ex SAS () called Steve needs money to buy his uncles vintage car dealership so he goes to this guy (i forgot his name) who runs Death Force and he is set with the task of recruting nine other mercenaries who are masters of their trade and arnt afraid to die etc. Thy're set to Afganistan to rob a drug lord's fortress and will each receive $3million from the total amount they steal. However things dont go to plan as one guy is shot, another captured by the Taliban and they have to run for the Pakistani border.
Overall a pretty good book and the author seemed to know a good deal about military histrory or at least did his research. And each of the nine mercenaries were from a different military, IRA,Spesnaz, Gurkah so some of them were enemies at one point.
