About this listen

Who was Dan "Spider" Shepherd before he signed up as an undercover cop and began working for MI5? The Sandpit rewinds with an action-packed rollercoaster to his days in the SAS....

Dan Shepherd and his SAS team are sent into the badlands of Afghanistan to train the rebels who are battling Taliban fanatics. But what starts as a training mission in The Sandpit rapidly turns into a life or death struggle with Shepherd and his team very much in the firing line. Soon they are caught up in an international intrigue that threatens the stability of the whole Middle East.

A great read but Slider is getting aa bit boring, Slider constantly taking charge and having the ultimate idea is against the Chinese Council principal, just getting tired I guess….

Stirring yarn but more than a little far fetched. The earlier patrol is believable but taking on a platoon of infantry, no matter how disorganises, with one man and a boy is just not on. SAS drills and SOPs seem to be well covered.
A yarn for a drizzly night when TV is bad.
