Publisher's Summary
Introducing Matt Rix...Australian commando. An explosive thriller from the heart of Afghanistan.
Outside the wire, Uruzghan Province, Afghanistan, 2010.... In the badlands of central Afghanistan, an Australian Special Forces platoon is fatally hit by a roadside bomb. A shadowy Taliban commander, codenamed 'Rapier', is identified as responsible for the deadly attack. Matt Rix, the ultra-tough commando who led the ambushed platoon, swears vengeance. Rix is one of Special Forces' most lethal operators. He'll neutralise Rapier - whatever it takes.
But in Afghanistan's brutal war, not all things are as they seem.

Fantastic
Excellent story with well thought out characters. I thoroughly appreciated the additional points of view, as opposed as the often one sided western opinion that dominates military novels. Realistic action with a bloody good smattering of Aussie humour. What's not to love?

Loved every minute
Great story and really well read. I do struggle with the non-Aussie (US & European) accents though.

best military thriller out there!
i have had the Honour of serving with Maj. Connolly, and the story he tells in this thriller is one of the best youll ever read, the names of the Operators may have been changed, but hearing their tale i know exactly who each is he is referring to

A great story, greatly enhanced by accurate detail
Thoughly enjoyed this story. The accuracy and extensive knowledge of the Australian Military is what made me respect the author and allow the story to flow so well. Showing all sides of the conflict was an interesting dynamic. The main focus on officers was a bit tedious at times, a bit more focus on the JNCOs and Diggers would have been great. This story captivated me from start to finish and time well spend to listen to. Keep up the good work.

Hard to turn off
Excellent narration by Nick Farnell of Bram Connolly’s amazing first book made it hard to turn off. With a story that has well rounded out characters and excellent action phases when Matt Rix and Yankee Platoon went outside the wire that truly held you on the edge of your seat; that was broken up by moments of the close mateship between the commandos that brought some chuckles with the mischief and jokes that Connolly has used.
Overall...this is one audiobook worth getting

Bram, well done.
An amazing written version with an incredible audio version. If gripping the edge of my seat was a thing in the paperback, I was gripping the edge of my iPhone with the Audible version! Bloody brilliance.
