3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best but.., June 27, 2003

This review is from: Liberation Day: A Nick Stone Mission (Hardcover)

I read the other reviews and I can't totally disagree or agree. And after reading most of the other books (not in order), I just finished reading Crisis Four after Liberation Day, I have to say that if you really enjoyed the other books you'll probably still like this one.

On that point, I do have to agree that it seemed to get a little tired. Like Andy wasn't trying that hard to make a good story. All the usual tradecraft descriptions were there, but the plot wasn't. The book is okay, but compared to some of his other books, it wasn't totally up to scratch.

But if you've only read this book then you should probably pick up one of the other books to get a better idea what the series is like. Though if you don't like a litany of tradecraft descriptions then you'd probably not like the others as well. But to me that is all part of the charm of the series. It adds to realism.

Better luck next time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointingly slow story, September 10, 2003

This review is from: Liberation Day: A Nick Stone Mission (Hardcover)

I first met Nick Stone in McNab's REMOTE CONTROL. Stone is a man of action and a guy who can take a punch or two or three, as he gets bloodied in every one of his adventures and always comes out on top. While they were very entertaining and "fast reads," my own personal favorite was FIREWALL, I found LIBERATION DAY to be long on stakeouts and short on action. I remember wondering, when I was half-way through the book, whether McNab was the actual author. Something about the writing style and plotting of LIBERATION DAY seemed to be missing. While the previous books were true page turners, the last book was something of a yawner. I hope McNab goes back to the old formula when he writes the next Nick Stone adventure.

This review is from: Liberation Day: A Nick Stone Mission (Mass Market Paperback)

McNab has written a number of thrilling books since leaving the SAS, but this one falls short. While endless radio checks and conversations may be realistic, that doesn't mean it makes for an exciting book. Let's hope McNab gets back on track as his other books were quite good.
