description: Steve Devereux's unforgettable account of life and death in the Paras and the SAS is war writing at its most vivid and immediate, where the only thing flowing faster than adrenalin is blood. His electrifying narrative covers almost twenty years of military activity in the world's flashpoints hot spots. Completing the toughest of trainings, he survived the daily dance with death in Northern Ireland at the height of the terrorist offensives - he was there at Warrenpoint when two massive explosions killed 18 men in his battalion. Devereux is always in the thick of the action. During the Falklands war, he was the 'point man' at Goose Green, and was in the front line of the victorious assault on Port Stanley. Revelatory, brutal and uncompromising, Terminal velocity pulls no punches. It is a world where loyalty to your mates and the Regiment is everything. Where death is always ready to snatch the unwary, and your one true friend is your weapon.
