If Garth Ennis wasn't in the armed forces, I'd be suprised. He seems to have an intimate knowledge of the subject. And he seems to love it also. This book basically tells us why Kev is running for his life. He's hooked up with an old mate, Danny, in SF, but know their lives are on the line also, through association. It seems like everyone associated with Kev, is knee deep in it. Anyways, he ran a special mission during the Gulf War, where he had to retrieve a video tape from that was being guarded on a special base. Turns out it was of a diplomatic party, where everyone seemed to lower their inhibitions, and Margret Thatcher ends up getting shagged by Saddam. Saddam has been holding it as leverage to try to keep England out of the war. Well even though he lost 2 of his guys in the process, Kev did complete the mission and return the tape. Well in retelling the tale, it dawns on him that when he returned with the tape, his Sarge turned it over to another man. That man was the same one that kicked him off the island and then turned up dead. So now, the only loose end out there that knows what's on the tape, is Kev. He stepped in it pretty deep this time. So in retelling this story to Danny and his girl, he's letting them know that they're in as much danger as he is. Nice friend! But these Kev stories are great. If you haven't checked them out yet, you should.
