Product Information

But there are deadly complications - not least that Nick soon discovers himself at the heart of a chilling cyber conspiracy that threatens war with Russia and the very existence of the Western alliance .

This is still an enjoyable series and there have been lots of highlight, this book touches on a few mainly the characters, it just wasn’t one of the better ones for me. McNab is the author of seven fast action thrillers, highly acclaimed for their authenticity and all Sunday Times bestsellers. A Serving of Crime with a Difference - You May Just Discover Something Unique, Different, or Unusual in These 20 Crime Novels. A shame the series has to come to an end, but alas all good things must, and at least it’s gone out with a bang not a whimper.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'.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The central character in all the books is Nick Stone, a tough ex-SAS operative working as a 'K' on deniable operations for British Intelligence.

As well as several non-fiction bestsellers including Bravo Two Zero, the biggest selling British work of military history, he is the author of the best-selling Nick Stone and Tom Buckingham thrillers. Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK, works in the film industry advising Hollywood on everything from covert procedure to training civilian actors to act like soldiers. and that following a shocking diagnosis his body is failing him fast, and any day now he will have to ask himself the ultimate question . honestly, it is a book full of blablabla, some old pals which resemble his last sort of family, NO mentioning of any of his former life or adventures, NO considerable action, no nothing, if it is not the last nick stone novel (as promised within the book), it definitely will be the lasts for me. But this comes over as a mess, when Stone thinks about himself, there is no mention of the family and money we have seen in the previous books.

Some good action and supense, and narrator Paul Thornley is always so convincing as the voice of Nick Stone, in fact Mr McNab should also sound like Mr Thornley! The final Nick Stone adventure is more of the same, which I've always enjoyed, but here it feels oddly tepid. And this is quite a slow and dull book too making it an effort to turn the pages and, even worse, care about the main character. Its the last in the Nick Stone series and AM has written it like that too, almost as if he couldnt be bothered to think up a decent enough plot line to pension Nick off.If this is, indeed, the last Nick Stone book, the author has rewarded his readers with a very tepid end.

Immediate Action, McNab's autobiography, spent 18 weeks at the top of the bestseller lists following the lifting on an ex-parte injunction granted to the Ministry of Defence in September 1995.I'm left wondering if AM had a book contract to fulfil as its the last in the series and this was him getting back at the publishers. We do get more a peek into his thought processes, and a decent fistful of the major mistakes, brutal action, and excessive personal damage that are the namesake protagonist's trademark. Andy McNab clearly wants to move on from Stone and focus on his new Shadow State series (I’ve read the first one, it’s not great) and his interest in the cyber world. As a member of 22 SAS he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years – on five continents. In Northern Ireland he spent two years working as an undercover operator with 14th Intelligence Group, going on to become an instructor.
