Do Special Forces guys need to want to be killers?
"The Hostage" is Duncan Falconer's first novel and is hopefully the start of a long series of books. I enjoyed it a lot and found it VERY exciting, although the believability of the plot is a bit of a problem. The hero of "The Hostage" is Stratton, a member of the ...

First Into Action: A Dramatic Personal Account of Life in the SBS

Duncan Falconer

Little, Brown Book Group, 2001

Top Special Forces Book
