From the back cover:
"Murderous drug-gangs. Blood-drenched rebels. Savage warlords. This is the explosive true story of the secret unit that fought them all... and won.
For three decades one of the most secretive units in the British military has been a mystery force known simply as X Platoon.
The forty men in its elite number were specially selected from across the Armed Forces, at which point they simply ceased to exist. X Platoon has no budget, no weaponry, no vehicles and no kit - apart from what its men could beg, borrow or steal from other military units.
Steve Heaney became one of the youngest ever to pass Selection, the gruelling trial of elite forces, and was at the cutting edge of X Platoon operations - serving on top-secret missions all over the globe. A highly decorated veteran of X Platoon - otherwise known as the Pathfinders - he reveals the incredible work of this band of brothers for the very first time."

Picked up, as an unregistered leftover, from the October 2018 York BC Meetup.
I'm planning to release this at tomorrow evening's 'Authors-Beginning-With-L'-themed BC Meetup being held at The Brigantes in York from 7pm onwards... ('L' is for Lewis!)

Since this has been kicking around for a while now, in order to free up some space on the Brigantes OBCZ Bookshelf, I thought I'd move it on to the Ye Olde Starre Inne OBCZ Bookshelf - where hopefully it'll find a new reader...
