11 and still not out!! Brilliant read.
For fans of the `Stone` series this is a must. The series is still as strong as ever and hasnt lost any of its sparkling action. As far as thrillers go this was very good. the story has plenty of violent action including an old Regiment buddy being tortured with a Black and Decker drill, before being shot in the head....nice! Seriously though the characters were deep and enthralling, keeping your interest all the way through. There was enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, and plenty of action. The series has not lost any sparkle as yet and the plots remain fresh and exciting. If you enjoy Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books then this will please you. I`m a series fan and enjoy Child and Michael Connelly books immensely, if you like Special Forces, terroist kind of thrillers read the 18th Brigade, Blister and the `Soft Target` trilogy of books by Conrad Jones they are Special forces based and are real shockers.Blister (Soft Target Series) They are unputdownable!! The new Chris Ryan book is his best for years too. Back to the review, ten out of ten.

Another blinding book.
I bought this book the other day and i started reading it as always with McNab his books spring to life in the first few pages. As for the content it is well worth a read for those budding McNab fans out there that have followed the life and troubles of the famous character Nick Stone. It was well worth the wait and hopefully Stone will continue to be the focal of McNabs books

Awesome

Same as usual- amazing!
After reading McNab's tenth book, Crossfire, I was looking forward to reading the new addition to his Nick Stone series. Like the other 10 books, Stone is in the thick of it, possibly to do with his actions in Crossfire. This is a typical McNab book: full of action. This book is a really enjoyable book. Stone goes from country to country trying to find out who is trying to kill him. It's well worth a read. A must have for McNab fans
