Book Description

December 16, 2008
Nick Stone’s eleventh adventure is McNab at his explosive best!

A cargo ship is apprehended by the authorities off the coast of Spain, loaded to the gunwales with enough arms and ammunition to start a war…

Twenty years later, an unknown aggressor seems intent on eradicating those responsible for the treachery, one by one. And Nick Stone — ex-SAS, tough, resourceful, ruthless, highly trained — is next on the killer’s list…

The fuse is lit… and Stone is catapulted into his most daunting mission yet — a quest that takes him across two continents, and into the darker recesses of his own complex past. But first he must find a man who shared that past, and who may know more about the present threat than he is prepared to reveal.

As the two find themselves pursued across sea and desert, they become ever more enmeshed in a deadly network of betrayal, to which Stone himself unwittingly holds the key. And in a final confrontation that echoes his worst nightmares, only he can stop the unthinkable and save the lives of those he holds most dear.


From the Trade Paperback edition.

About the Author

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 two phenomenal bestsellers, Bravo Two Zero, which was filmed in 1998 starring Sean Bean, and Immediate Action. He is the author of ten fictional thrillers. Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent action thriller, February 22, 2010
By 
This review is from: Brute Force (Hardcover)
Andy McNab has once again managed to write a book that improves on his previous offering. Like every book prior, he has managed to create an action figure who is gritty, tough, professional and ruthlessly efficient but yet is personable and likable. The reader feels just like they should be--a part of the story as the character, not someone reading a book and this makes it a page-turner that comes up once and then down when complete, except for the usual routine that us mortal people have to endure before we can once again get stuck in!

It isn't perfect yet, there is still a little too much military jargon, which as an ex-Army fellow I personally don't mind--but I can understand where it might get difficult to follow for a civilian with no military knowledge. But if you've read and understood his previous offering, this only builds upon Nick Stone's pitiful existence and is completely followable and understandable.

I've rated it a 5 because of the amusement factor it provided. It does what it says on the tin and is fun, addictive and a great story.

3.0 out of 5 stars just about okay, November 27, 2010

This review is from: Brute Force (Paperback)
One of the weaker Nick Stone novels. I have to say it was well researched but the plot was weak (and elements were rather obvious) and it was surprisinly light on action and tension.

Stone goes on the run when it appears he is on a list of targets involved in an old IRA mission. The big 'reveals' have either been signposted or lack much of an impact leaving this as a somewhat average book. Have to say it was a quick and easy read, but I finished it about four hours ago and already I struggle to remember it - utterly forgettable.
