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.

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.

really enjoyed the read BRUTE FORCEapart from one glarying mistake which had not been picked up before publication
