Product Description

Ex-deniable operator Nick Stone seems to be living his dream, not a care in the world as he steers his camper van round the surfing and parachuting centres of Australia, a board on the roof, freefall rig behind him, and a beautiful young backpacker at his side. But, when he witnesses on TV the massacre of children in a terrorist siege in the other side of the world, long-suppressed memories are triggered and Nick finds himself catapulted once more into working for the American secret services - only this time, of his own free will. As events unfold in the bleak, medieval villages of Azerbajhan and teeming streets of modern Istanbul, it isn't long before Nick discovers the true objective of the mission on which he has embarked.

Praise for Andy McNab:

‘Addictive…Packed with wild action and revealing tradecraft’Daily Telegraph
‘Andy McNab knows where his strengths lie, and it’s not just in his biceps…Only people who have not read this book could suggest that he is not a fine writer. It is a heart-thumping read’Daily Express
‘McNab is a terrific novelist. When it comes to thrills, he’s Forsyth class’
Mail on Sunday‘‘McNab’s great asset is that the heart of his fiction is non-fiction: other thriller writers do their research, but he has actually been there’Sunday Times

Customer Reviews

Never read a novel realting to war and politics, I will do now
I've never read a novel relating to war or politics before but this book is really good. It's slow to start off with because it starts with a flashback then starts the story after that, but the flashback makes sense towards the end. There's quite a lot of humour in this book which made me laugh a few times. I read this book in just under a week - I couldn't really put it down it's so good. If you've never read a book by Andy McNab then read this.

to love a friend is to accept his/her own wishes
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.

Generic rubbish
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.
