  • OVERALL - 40/50
  • REVIEW - The first in the mission book series and it gets off to a good start with a really good front cover. The photos are pretty detailed too but it is a shame there are not more of them. It's an easy read with a good layout. Set the tone nicely for future missions.

  • TEXT - 8
  • EFFORT - 9
  • OVERALL - 40/50
  • REVIEW - This included 3 missions in one book and part of another mission so 4 really. A lot of effort was put in to making this one, perhaps a bit too much. The photos are awesome however and in general it is excellent.

  • FRONT COVER - 6
  • THE LAYOUT - 7
  • PHOTOS - 10
  • TEXT - 8
  • EFFORT - 8
  • OVERALL - 39/50
  • REVIEW - The front cover is a bit disappointing and has been banned but this is a crazy mission book to read. I cant beleive we took so many good photos on this mission, they are the best pictures in any mission book and must be seen. The layout is ok and the text can be quite funny in places.

  • Operation IRA - by Rick Barker
  • FRONT COVER - 10
  • THE LAYOUT - 9
  • PHOTOS - 4
  • TEXT - 8
  • EFFORT - 9
  • OVERALL - 40/50
  • REVIEW - The story is told really well through this book with the layout being very good and easy to read. With all that effort it is a shame that the photos are so poor. There's a few classics but because their wasn't much happening that night, there wasn't anything much good caught on film.

  • THE LAYOUT - 6

  • EFFORT - 8
  • OVERALL - 36/50
  • REVIEW - Made somthing out of nothing really. There was one good mission and a couple of not so good ones and the book is nowhere near as good as the first trilogy book. Plenty of effort went in though as their are a lot of interesting mission facts at the back and wierd newspaper cuttings but their are few highlights to mention.

  • FRONT COVER - 7
  • THE LAYOUT - 8
  • PHOTOS - 7
  • TEXT - 7
  • EFFORT - 7
  • OVERALL - 36/50
  • REVIEW - Presentation could have been neater on this one and the photos are average too but of course theirs a few cool ones as usual. Not one of the better mission books but it was certainly one of the most dangerous missions of all time.

  • PHOTOS - 9
  • TEXT - 8

  • REVIEW - A really good front cover gets things off to a smart start and the book is just filled with what seems like hundreds of photos [someone has been very busy!] Their's some good quotes and it's really easy to read. Dash is not to be missed on his farewell mission. Top mission book !
