Product Description
From Amazon
The hero of Land of Fire--Chris Ryan's latest release--is a man faced with an agonising conflict within himself. Mark Black was a youthful SAS fighter in the Falklands war. To grab a female Argentine spy, he puts his life on the line. Along with his SAS colleagues, he is sent on a dangerous reconnaissance mission before an attack on a fortified airbase. Twenty years pass, and a threatening new Argentine military junta has its sights set on the Falklands again. And Mark Black, ill at ease with memories of his past, becomes involved in a new conflict after British air defences are destroyed in a sneak attack. Black once again meets the girl of his past, and finds that he has to trust an old enemy.
While other Ryan novels (for all their virtues) have occasionally utilised well-worn plots, this one is absolutely fresh as paint. The narrative (spanning many years) packs all the requisite pace and action, but Ryan never forgets how crucial characterisation is. Black's relationship with the girl who was once his enemy is brilliantly and economically realised. --Barry Forshaw --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A bit dissapointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Land of Fire (Hardcover)
This book was a bit dissapointing for me, but it's another good story, it certainly ain't great, but i read it with great excitement sometimes.Ryan knows how to interest people, and even though this is not one of his best, i think it's worth a read. 4 stars are justified.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Not so good,
This review is from: Land of Fire (Paperback)
This book was dissappointing, i was expecting better of Ryan.The story is not so good, the names (Mark and Andy Black) and it wasn't the usual class of Ryan that i'm use too. it isn't that bad,there are some nice parts in the story, but overall i'm dissapointed. I think 3 stars are justified.

A Waste of Paper,
By
This review is from: Land of Fire (Hardcover)
Whoever is responsible for hiring the editor of this book should be fired immediately. The editor should have been fired when he recommended publication.Simply put, there is no story to this story. It reads like a battle diary. Up to disk 7 (of 11), when I gave up listening to the audiobook version, there had been detailed descriptions of 2 SAS engagements in Argentina, with no reason to connect them, and no storyline at all. Save your money. Larry Bellinger
