Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes acted as a stand-alone prologue to The Phantom Pain and was significantly shorter than the main game. However, for many fans of the series, the focused missions and replay value provided by Ground Zeroes is considered a superior stealth experience. I confess to taking considerable guilty pleasure from this one. To begin with, I have believed from the start that instead of going on about how the Iraqis were shooting at them, the US and British troops should have got the hell right out of Iraq. They had no business there in the first place. On the other hand, I loves me a good story about the brotherhood of arms, and this book is a dandy example of just that type of story. A truly stunning story. I have read this 4 times and it's still as captivating now as the first time' 5***** Reader rReview Read more Details A truly stunning story. I have read this 4 times and it's still as captivating now as the first time' 5***** Reader Review April 2004: Dan Mills and his platoon of snipers fly into southern Iraq, part of an infantry battalion sent to win hearts and minds. They were soon fighting for their lives.

No, I don't object to the idea that one could enjoy being a soldier. I'm neither stupid nor naive. But they way Mills' writes it? They're quite different from popular action games. In this game, the number of accessories and weapons to choose from doesn't matter – each army has only one type of weapon. In Squad, we are not a sniper, but a marksman – a team member, but with a scope on the rifle (so called DMR, Designated Marksman Rifle). Provided we can reserve such a role in time, as there's limited number of marksmen slots. And even if we do – there's a good chance that the commander will immediately remove such a delinquent from the squad! You can, of course, try to form your own team and operate on your own terms, but that's not what this game is about.Far Cry 5 was launched on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2018. The series has always supported all styles of gameplay. Whether it is running and gunning or being silent and stealthy, it is the stealth that is by far the most satisfying and rewarding experience. One of the best first-hand accounts of combat that I've ever read.” —Andy McNab, international bestselling author of Bravo Two Zero

Because within days of arriving in theatre, Mills and his men were caught up in the longest, most sustained fire fight British troops had faced for over fifty years.

A gritty speedball-run. Strong, cohesive and complete . . . It plugs the reader straight into the blood and guts of the action' The Times
