Description

As a teenage delinquent, ANDY McNAB kicked against society. As a young soldier he waged war against the IRA in the streets and fields of South Armagh. As a member of 22 SAS he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years -- on five continents. During the Gulf War he commanded Bravo Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his commanding officer, 'will remain in regimental history for ever'. Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS.

Features & Highlights

  • Ex-SAS, ex-Black Ops, Nick Stone returns and this time he wants vengeance. At any cost.
  • Ex-deniable operator Nick Stone has spent a lifetime in harm's way -- but when someone he cares for very deeply is murdered in cold blood, he can no longer just take the pain. A high-level internecine conflict at the dark heart of the resurgent Russian Empire and an assassin's bullet on an isolated Alpine pass? propel him from an apparently run-of-the-mill close-protection task into his most brutal and challenging mission yet. As the body count increases, Stone becomes one of Europe's Most Wanted. He must evade the elite police forces of three nations in his pursuit of faceless men who trade in human misery, and a lone wolf terrorist who threatens to unleash the Western World's worst nightmare. Vengeance of the most explosive kind is top of Stone's agenda. The fuse has been ignited - but who really holds the detonator?

Unlike most of his other Nick Stone books this starts off in the near present with no flashbacks or other historical references

I have read all 16 of Andy McNab's books featuring the former SAS operator Nick Stone. In this, number 17, you wonder if the plot will stay fresh, who will die whom he loves and how the hell can he get out of so many insurmountable predicaments?

Unlike most of his other Nick Stone books this starts off in the near present with no flashbacks or other historical references to previous sins or operations gone bad. Instead the plot chugs along with great situational detail in a linear manner with few plot twists if you can call them that.

Its an anxious read as the tension and unpredictable nature of the action keeps you, as I said, anxious.

I wonder if this series or rather Nick Stone's fate is coming to an inevitable conclusion. How many more bad guys can he realistically kill?

One Star

Not his best work. A little hard to keep interested in the story.
