I've read both these books I got them from Amazon too. The first one is hilarious and tells of Preece's personal life amongst the marines. It is a no holds barred account of drink, s*x, violence and hilarious humour.<br />
<br />
The sequal "Always A Marine" is quite different and is all about the fact that Preece has left the marines but is still mentally a soldier. He still has the belligerent mentality that he developed as a marine and fights to contain the aggression. Eventually it is the ninjas that help him to find what he is looking for. A good book I thought. I just couldn't put it down. <br />
<br />
Also: These books caused mayhem on the Brit Marines website, however, you can see the truth shining through even though they tried to deny this stuff went on in the 80's:<br />
