Book Description

November 1, 2011 Battlefield 3
As bullets whiz by, walls crumble, and explosions throw you to the ground, the battlefield feels more alive and interactive than ever before. In Battlefield 3, players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines where they will experience heart-pounding missions across diverse locations including Paris, Tehran and New York...

Since 2002, EA's series of Battlefield games have set the standard for realism and ambition. And in Autumn 2011, with the global release of the hotly anticipated Battlefield 3, they're raising the bar even higher. Battlefield 3 will be the most authentic, vivid, all-action first person shooter ever.

To be published alongside the game, Battlefield 3: The Russian is also best in class - the first time that a games publisher has worked so closely with an internationally bestselling author.

Never before has a tie-in book benefitted from this level of collaboration from the creative team behind the game itself. Nor has it been written by a thriller writer with such a strong track record and reputation.

Displaying all of McNab's trademark grit, authenticity and insight, Battlefield 3: The Russian is a scorching top-of-the-line military thriller and a heart-stopping race against time.

Prepare to be blown away...

ANDY MCNAB joined the infantry as a boy soldier. In 1984 he was 'badged' as a member of 22 SAS Regiment and was involved in both covert and overt special operations worldwide. 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'. Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS in February 1993. He wrote about his experiences in three books: the phenomenal bestseller Bravo Two Zero, Immediate Action and Seven Troop.

He is the author of the bestselling Nick Stone thrillers. Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK. He is a patron of the Help for Heroes campaign.

This is a great book Andy Mcnab did a great job taking the campaign mode of Battlefield (The game) and making it into a book. The book includes alot of scenes from the video game but also takes you deep inside the background story of it, just going to warn you the book does include alot of mature language and a little too much to be honest. But other then that its a good read but i recommend also playing the video game campaign or at least watch some of it before/after reading this book.

Over all rating (1-5)

4.0 out of 5 stars If you love the game... June 3, 2012
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
...you should read this. Andy McNab worked with DICE on the video game and this story carries the same realism, grit, and authenticity. McNab was in the SAS and certainly knows what he is talking about. The story concerns Blackburn (whom you play in the game) and Dima, fleshing out their relationship in a way that the game didn't cover.

If you had a hard time caring about the campaign in battlefield 3, I don't think this will change your mind. But if you ate it up as I did, you will enjoy the hell out of this novel. I also recommend listening to the soundtrack ( Battlefield 3 ) at the same time. Enjoy it!

Side Note: Who was the brainiac who decided to start making paperback books a half inch taller all of a sudden? They don't fit well on my shelf.

I must say that this book was very entertaining, may even be better than the game itself. The juicy details and in-depth description of what these soldiers really do everyday had me thrown. Andy McNab is definitely one of my favourite authors as of now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reading Entertainment December 3, 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Andy McNab does it again. This story held my interest from page one. For a change the Russians are not made out to be villians. Dima, the main character, is an old Russian Spetsnaz-trained agent. His considerable skills, unconstrained by the political correctness that permeates the West, allows him to take uncouth measures. This makes for an interesting story as the reader wonders just how far he will go to achieve his ends. My only negative comment, and it is a very minor one, is that Marines are refered to as soldiers. Soldiers are ARMY, Mariners are MARINES and never called soldier. This is a minor point and the error can be justified by McNab's British heritage. I do not hesitate to recommend this action novel and it will keep you engrossd to the last page and wish there were more.

It is a shame that some of McNab's earlier novels were only available outside the country and even if available now command a premium price. Maybe an enterprising publisher could obtain printing rights and republish them in the USA so we could enjoy them at a reasonable price.
