Late last night I finished off one that had been lurking (partially read) for a while:- "Soldier I SAS" by Michael Paul Kennedy (1989). Having read a couple in the "Soldier A-I SAS" series (and there may be more by now, for all I know), I found this one to be particularly good. Even the QEMH in Woolwich gets a (accurate) mention! I'm giving it 9/10.
On the other hand, I seem to recall that "Soldier J SAS : Counterinsurgency in Aden" by Shaun Clarke (1994) was particularly dire (not to mention full of obvious errors); that one is not recommended! Only 1/10 there, I'm afraid.
Unfortunately, quite a few in the series were penned by Shaun Clarke; so I shall be giving those a miss. I don't bother with any of the SAS novels myself, preferring to stick to the "true" stories; I believe that - in the series mentioned - only "I" falls within that category.
Soldier "I" may have been Pete Winner - but don't worry about PERSEC, as all his stuff is in the Public Domain.
