Story
Immediate Action is a no-holds-barred account of an extraordinary life, from the day Andy McNab was found in a carrier bag on the steps of Guy's Hospital to the day he went to fight in the Gulf War. As a delinquent youth he kicked against society. As a young soldier he waged war against the IRA in the streets and fields of South Armagh. As a member of 22 SAS Regiment he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years - on five continents.

No publicity, no media. We move in silently, do our job, and melt away into the background. If you have the stamina, the willpower and the guts, we'll welcome you with open arms and make you one of us. And if you haven't, then it's been very nice knowing you. Eighteen years in the SAS saw Pete Winner, codenamed Soldier 'I', survive the savage battle of Mirbat, parachute into the icy depths of the South Atlantic at the height of the Falklands War and storm the Iranian Embassy during the most famous hostage crisis in the modern world.

Story
There were three patrols that fateful January 1991 morning: Bravo One Zero, Bravo Two Zero and Bravo Three Zero. It was the opening hours of the Gulf War, and the SAS were flown deep behind enemy lines to hunt down Saddam's Scud missiles. The men of Bravo One Zero stepped off the chopper, took one look at the flat desert devoid of any cover and decided no way were they deploying into all of that. But Andy NcNab's famed Bravo Two Zero patrol did deploy, with fatal results - all bar one being captured or killed. And then there was Bravo Three Zero. These men were different.

The history of the modern SAS is one of the great successes of postwar Britain. Since it was revived in 1950 to combat Communist insurgents, the Regiment has gone from strength to strength, fighting covert wars in Oman, Borneo, Northern Ireland, the Falklands, the Persian Gulf and beyond. In the process, it has become one of the most indispensable, and at times controversial, units in the British army.

It takes a tough mind-set to be a successful sniper, to be able to dig in for days on your own as you wait for your target, to stay calm on a battlefield when you yourself have become the target the enemy most wants to take out. Craig Harrison has what it takes, and in November 2009 in Afghanistan, under intense pressure, he saved the lives of his comrades with the longest confirmed sniper kill - 2,475 metres, the length of 25 football pitches.

Summary
They were like a band of brothers...
In 1983 Andy McNab was assigned to B Squadron, one of the four Sabre Squadrons of the SAS, and within it to Air Troop, otherwise known as SEVEN TROOP.
This is Andy McNab's gripping account of the time he served in the company of a remarkable group of men - from the day, freshly badged, he joined them in the Malayan jungle, to the day, ten years later, that he handed in his sand-coloured beret and started a new life.
The links they forged then bound them inextricably together, but the things they saw and did during that time would take them all to breaking point - and some beyond - in the years that were to follow. He who dares doesn't always win...

Best Book Ever!!!!!
Would you listen to Seven Troop again? Why?
Yes, for many reasons, this is in effect an Andy McNab Autobiography. Having read all his novels I now see why they are so successful... Having spent 16 years in the mob, I can relate so much to this Biography, but Andy really managers unselfishly to bring all the other personalities to the forefront making them the hero and not him....
What did you like best about this story?
Andy's humbleness is refreshing, his honesty about himself was amazing a real and true legend. Other similar book written by other authors, just didn't/don't manage to achieve this. Probably because these authors didn't have the real life experiences that Andy has?
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The earlier chapters, about Andy's experiences were awesome and fast moving, I really felt like I was on the edge of my seat... :)
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The final chapters were heart wrenching, I found myself crying as the sad truth of the effects of PTSD on members of the most elite unit unfolded, I assume all my fellow Falkland vets will/have done the same... :(
Any additional comments?
This is by far the most meaningful book I have ever had the privileged to listened too or read.The book left me feeling so many different emotions, joyful, amusing and of course sad, but more importantly it has given me the impetus to help PTSD sufferers. As a former serving Para/APTC member I like Andy have (up to now anyway) come away fairly unscathed, however, close friends have not been so lucky. I would like to thank Andy & his book for bringing to the forefront the ongoing battle to change peoples perception of mental illness...Finally I will never read another book written by the ex STAB, who now runs a pig farm ?? lol :) ....... and nor should you!!

Funny, sad and a touch inspirational...
I have only recently listened to Bravo Two Zero and Immediate Action, both of which I really enjoyed, so I was very pleased when I found Seven Troop. I love Andy's writing style, it always makes me feel like he's telling me a story over a drink in a pub somewhere. I found the book funny, inspirational and incredibly sad, I pretty much cried for the last hour of listening. I did want to read Nish's story and managed to get my hands on a copy of his book l, Freefall, which I would also highly recommend, a very honest account of his illness and life.

Very familiar content
I have listened/read a lot of Andy McNab's books and found that a lot of the content in this book have already been told in his previous books Immediate Action and Bravo Two Zero.
This book puts more focus on his time in Seven Troop as the title suggest and with that comes some repeats from the earlier books but if you want more details around his time in the SAS then this is a book for you.

humourous, tragic, action packed.
Andy Mcnab describes the men beneath the uniform as mere mortals. A simple truth about the men whom the common folks put their trust upon to defend to defend their freedom. It's very humbling. A very wonderful piece of literature.
