Aggressor

A very easy to read plot...to go save an old friend from trouble and bring him back alive; could be the only problem face when you are dealing with and old friend who must complete his mission as a soldier.

I find the plot is weak, only a handful of action coming from a military writer. Half of the book wrote about how to go about looking for the target, not much needed to plan for the mission. Most of all, not that i can find real danger in part for Nick and for Charlie, except some hurdles along the way when they face merely two bad guys worth the mentioned; Akaki and that Bastard.

Simply too easy to kill and escape in the plot. I was rushing the pages just to finish the book and go to my next book really. I will rate this 3 stars for a good first attempt reading a Andy McNab book. Wil try his other book - could be better or worst.

There are very few books which I find unreadable. Ultiimately there is always something worthwhile. This book manages to bypass my simple rule. It was tedious, repetitive and lacking in real purpose - except that I will avoid this author at all costs in future. Try Duncan Falconer's books - they are vastly superior.

Andy McNabb is back on top form with this exceptional novel. His writing prowess has made Aggressor an exciting, albeit gritty follow-up to the lacklustre Deep Black.

I was really looking forward to reading this next installment of Nick Stones
life..

It started off really good, him doing his thing.. going to people, getting
information then going to where it is he needs to go..

I was sad reading about the boys who are trained to fight when they are
only 5 yrs old. I know this happens and i thought his account of it was
exact and well written..

The only down side to the book is the constant trudging through the
mud.. I got really annoyed at Silka; she was getting on my nerves being
so stubborn..!

Pretty good read..

This is the first Andy McNab book I have read and his previous distinguished military career obviously lends a great deal of credibility to his work.

However, I must admit that I found this story somewhat sketchy and at length boring. The story-line can be summed up in max. three sentences and relations between the book's characters never stray beyond the stereotypical. For the rest, lots of hardware, technical references, gunfire, car chases and fist fights are thrown at the reader, all formulated in a gung-ho semi-caveman lingo presumably native to active field soldiers. Why does Mr. McNab seem intent on proving that highly trained professional soldiers are if not inter-personally then at least linguistically challenged, even when "off duty" (as an example, why do non-UK native languages and dialects have to be referred to as "Paperclip" at least 20 times in the book?). I do not question Mr. McNab's previous experience, but being the son of a professional soldier myself I don't buy this claim which does not do justice to military personnel in general and only makes the story's protagonists seem even more hollow and cartoon-like.

I might give Mr. McNab's next book a pass.....
