First in Action

We all know about the daring exploits of the infamous SAS. For some reason, the SBS – the Special Boat Services – have been somewhat overshadowed, and unfairly so. With personnel drawn from the Royal Marines and Marine Commando Units after the most robust selection process ever devised, the truth is the SBS is the oldest, most-decorated and most frequently first into battle of any regiment that flies the British flag.
The appropriately titled ‘First Into Action’ brings readers the riveting inside story of the SBS by Duncan Falconer, a special forces operative who has served the cause in scores of hotspots and writes this memoir of his experiences in a compelling style that sends shivers down your spine and brings the smell of cordite right off the page. Falconer’s skill is bringing action to life and does so by developing full-bloodied characters with their life and death decisions, their errors, successes and unbridled bravery. Excellent.
