Summary
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.

Too bland, may have gotten tired of this series
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Have read/listened to all the Dan Sheperd stories so far and found this one a bit too bland to capture me.
May have gotten a bit tired with the series, seemed to be too much of the same.

Leathered!
Excellent prequel to the Spider Shepherd stories. Really enjoyed this story of Spider in the SAS and his three mates complimented the main character perfectly.Doesn't matter if you are just starting out on the Dan 'Spider' Shepherd series or you are a veteran, this book can be enjoyed by either, highly recommended.
Paul Thornley is by far the best narrator used by Stephen Leather

The Sandpit
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.

I was totally engrossed when I felt the book came to a sudden end. this was a shorter story than I'm used to and didn't expect the book to be finished when it did.

Back to the beginning
Before he joined the Metropolitan Police undercover unit, before he joined MI5 Dan Shepherd and his SAS team are sent into the badlands of Afghanistan to train the rebels who but nothing is ever that simple.
Rather an abrupt end hence 4 *
