BOOK REVIEW- Stealing from ISIS:An Ex-SAS Special forces mercenary short story


Stealing from ISIS: An Ex-SAS Special forces mercenary short story-  A former Special Air Service soldier now a mercenary is hired by an Iranian businessman to find hidden ancient Persian gold in ISIS territory.   AMAZON


Not bad for a short story. It managed to get a fair amount of story into the shorter pages. Even though I liked it, I wish it had more pages because there was room for so much more. That said let me say this, it had action, bad guys, good guys and guys that fell somewhere in the middle. There is even one young girl who is part of the fight. She has had to develop fighting skills because of the area that she lives in. I also thought that the war weary man named Richard was also well written to show him also as an action junkie. He wasn't sure that his luck was going to hold when it came to staying alive, but he just thrived on the adrenaline. It was his normal, he just couldn't seem to kick it. The treasures and the weapons used seemed to be well detailed as well. Of course it would have been nice to be able to go a bit deeper with the personalities of the people but what was there was okay.
There is also a fairly generous intro into the book,"Kingdom of Assassins" at the end of this book. 

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
