Standing Strong

Matt Standing, Book 4

By: Stephen Leather

Narrated by: Paul Thornley

February, 2022. Russia invades Ukraine, the biggest attack on a European country since World War I. Matt 'Lastman' Standing and a crack SAS team are sent into the war zone. Their mission - to help the Ukrainians defend their country from the Russian invaders. But when Russian mercenaries begin committing atrocities and war crimes in occupied Ukraine, MI6 decides to change the rules of engagement.

Standing and his team are given new orders - to take out the Russian president, one of the most protected men in the world. It has all the makings of a suicide mission, but Standing is the last man to turn down a challenge.

Good story until the last third

Over-reached a little in the last part and the ending was fairly obvious. Other than that, a solid entry in the Standing series.
