From the Back Cover
Nick Stone left the Special Air Service soon after the shooting of three IRA terrorists in Gibraltar. Now working for British Intelligence on deniable operations, he discovers the seemingly senseless murders of a fellow SAS soldier and his family in Washington, DC. Only a seven-year-old daughter, Kelly, has survived - and the two of them are immediately on the run from unidentified pursuers. Stone doesn't even know which of them is the target.

On his own, Stone stands a chance of escape. But he needs to protect the girl and together they plunge into a dark world of violence and corruption in which friend cannot be told from foe. As events draw to their blazing and unexpected climax, Stone discovers the shocking truth about governments, terrorism and commerce - and the greed that binds the three together...

Remote Control is a new kind of thriller, gritty, vivid and menacing, with a pace that never lets up. Other thriller-writers talk the talk. Only McNab has walked the walk.

Customer Reviews

A thrilling journey that plays in your mind like a film!
Firstly I will start off by saying that i am not a big reader. I enjoy reading and try to, but for one reason or another, i never seem to be able to get into a book to finish it.

I decided to try McNabbs "Remote Control" as its the first in the series, with the idea that if i liked it i could read the rest in the correct order.

My what a book! The story, the characters and McNabbs writing style are truly superb. The story is gripping and as you read page after page, it is impossible not to see the story unfold in your mind - so much so its as though your watching a film (this book should be made into one!).

If you are at all interested in the thriller genre and want an exciting read, then for the price this book is well worth trying.

5 Stars

Gripped my the seat of my pants!!!
This book is amazing! I was hooked from the beginning. Andy McNab builds the story beautifully, he includes detail without making it tedious. The book is full of twists & turns, and has you guessing right up until the very end. The characters are all very strong and likeable. I cannot recommend this book enough, it is fantastic

McNab is the new Tom Clancy
Andy Mcnab has an amazing ability to make you empathise with his character Nick Stone in his first novel, 'Remote Control'. It is written in the same first person perspective as his two previous autobiographies, the fantastic 'Bravo Two Zero' and 'Immediate Action', and at times is so gripping that you forget that this is just a novel. 'Remote Control' focuses on Nick Stone, an ex SAS soldier turned MI6 spy, who's not all that dissimilar to Mcnab himself. On a top secret mission in the USA, Stone stumbles across a deadly plot which leaves him on the run, fighting for his life with a young girl in tow. Sometimes brutally realistic, sometimes chillingly gripping, Mcnab's first novel is a fantastic read. The only complaint is that it becomes slightly repetitive and sometimes boring for a while in the middle, but this is soon forgotten when the action again picks up and forces you to read what is a great novel. I look forward to reading the next episode of Nick Stone's life.
