Format:Paperback
There's already plenty of plot info for 'Crossfire' so I just thought I'd say that this series about the character Nick Stone has proved I shouldn't make assumptions about books. I'd assumed these were 'bloke's books' - however, unlike Yorkies, girls (and civvies!) can enjoy them too. The straightforward honest style (with an occasional pinch of humour) well reflects the character of Nick Stone. The army and brutal undercover work is a world I know nothing about and as I know it's accurate that adds to the interest. The stark detail about the countries is fascinating too (though I don't think many tourist boards will thank the author, Andy McNab). In 'Crossfire' we find out about Afghanistan and Iraq (Ireland too), in 'Recoil' it was Africa (The Congo) and in 'Aggressor' it was Georgia. I noticed not everyone was so wild about 'Recoil' and 'Aggressor', but I found them compelling (and justifiably disquieting) and now I'm going to read the older books in the Nick Stone series. So unless you're repelled by violence and language, then I'd recommend these insightful, fast paced books and don't dismiss them as 'bloke's books'. My only criticism would be that I get utterly confused by all the acronyms and wish there was a glossary.

All what was making McNab great in his first books is back again. Back at the top. To the joy of all those who read his books.
Recommended.
And waiting impatiently for the next one.

Format:Hardcover
One of his best or possibly his best novel. It is very trendy for McNab to be slagged off by the BBC Radio4 intelligentsia, but clearly they are too far up their own arses to appreciate what a fine writer he is. McNab has a unique style. Narratives charge forward at an unbelievable and unequalled pace. In his last two novels he also manages to encompass current and important geo-political themes, which we expect from Le Carré, but not necessarily from a thriller writer. We can live vicariously in his dangerous world from the safety of our sofas. No-one does it better !

McNab just keeps getting better. The realism of the writing of a man who has clearly "been there and done that" is exceptional. Read more

No-nonsense nonsense
McNab's Crossfire might be "authentic", but the story is extremely thin and the language very poor. Don't waste time and money on this one.

Better than the Bible....
To be honest, my title is a bit misleading. Anything by McNab is better than the Bible. In fact, ANYTHING full stop is better than the Bible. Read more
