About this listen
From this moment on, you and your men, you don't exist.
Formed in the darkest hours of the Second World War, as nation after nation fell before the unstoppable Axis advance, their task was to strike back at an enemy no army could meet in the field. Trained in sabotage and surveillance, they raided deep behind enemy lines, sowing chaos and capturing much-needed Intelligence: codes, documents, equipment—even personnel. Their methods were unorthodox, their success rate unprecedented. Soldiers, adventurers and rogues, they were the seaborne raiders who, by strength and guile, carried out the War's most daring covert operations.
Operation Anglo, 31 August 1942.
Beneath the waves, HMS Traveller closes in on the coast of Rhodes in the Eastern Mediterranean. Aboard, eight SBS commandos check their weapons and munitions as they prepare to infiltrate and sabotage two Axis bomber fields. That part of their mission will be a success... but only two of the eight commandos will make it back to the submarine. Ex-Black Watch Sgt Jim Hunter will be one of the lucky ones, but what he will face next will make Operation Anglo look like a cakewalk.

Quite an interesting story about the formation of the SBS, although it probably isn't. Thrilling and gripping events of troops in the field and the struggles they face

Not a story about the S B S should be retitled.
The storyline even confirms that the fictional characters were not S B S.
Enjoyable bit of fiction loosely based around special operations,, a bit rambling in places and far fetched.
Similar in style and storyline to the James Holland series - Hellfire, The Devil's Pact etc.

I stuck with this thinking it must get better - it doesn’t ! I hate to be negative but this is dreadful.
