Reader Reviews:
Possibly his best novel (0/0 people found this helpful)
One of his best or possibly his best novel. It is very trendy for McNab to be slagged off by the BBC Radio4 intelligentsia, but clearly they are too far up their own arses to appreciate what a fine writer he is. McNab has a unique style. Narratives charge forward at an unbelievable and unequalled pace. In his last two novels he also manages to encompass current and important geo-political themes, which we expect from Le Carré, but not necessarily from a thriller writer. We can live vicariously in his dangerous world from the safety of our sofas. No-one does it better !

Once again a gripping read with his usual twists and turns in the story line. I am a great fan having read all his novels so I am sure that he wouldn't mind my comment regarding the excessive use of bad language throughout the book which for me slightly mard the novel. Was it totally neccessary ? His other books haven't been half so bad so I am keeping my fingers crossed for the next one !!
A Gripping Yarn... (0/0 people found this helpful)
Andy McNab is at it again. This might be considered by some as his usual old stuff being dragged out of the closet again. But for me, it was a gripping storyline and a very good read. Can't wait for the next Nick Stone installment. While writing this review, I would also like to recommend another good read, 'The Constantine Legacy' by Andrew Towning. His Jake Dillon charactor is one to watch out for in the future.
Same old formula .... but what's bad about that ? (1/1 people found this helpful)
McNab's tried and tested formula is back on sale.
Nick Stone gets a crap mission, gets a good kicking, has lots of 'off the cuff' phrases to show he's a typical squaddie but with an edge, does his 'Scrap heap challenge cum Blue Peter' build a spy kit's bits and bobs thing he does in most of the books but at the end of it all he comes good and does the business...... and why not ? I love reading his books...they're no brainers, good fun, and if you're ex-services, then extremely easy to envisage the character. Main difference here is Andy appears to ave done his homework big-time on this one, and his scene setting is very comprehensive.
Good read.

McNab on form again.
Back with Nick Stone again on another adventure around the world. Another gripping storyline with Stone seeming to have aged abit but still be up to his old tricks.
Again I love the way that the story flows with the story in a type of first person view - where you can see what he sees and he what he thinks.
It makes a great read and something that you really can't put down until you have finished for fear of missing something!!!
