"'Allahu-akbar'
God is great.
Maybe. But so was the AK on my shoulder, and I knew which one I trusted more."
When I read this passage I knew it had be in the review, because it tells a lot about Nick Stone. Those who are new to the series get a good impression of his hands-on contribution to the genre. Those who know the series already find that he still got his skills, wits and sarkasm.
With references to the Arab spring, the Lybian freedom movement and the Fukushima incident, McNab's novel is a fast-paced and up to date read. "Dead Centre" is the logical successor to "Zero Hour" and occasionally refers to situations from previous novels, which are explained in the context though.
Nick Stone should be in his late fourties by now, and I get the impression that he starts to act his age: More and more, he takes advantage of his experience and moves into a consulting role, which does not mean that there is a shortage of action.

I'll keep this short and sweet as other reviewers have already covered the novel in great depth and with very good synopsis.
This is a great book in the series and I would highly recommend it to all who follow the Nick Stone books. To any of you who haven't read them I would advise going back to the beginning (Remote Control is the first book if memory serves), not just because you'll get more of the references but quite simply because it is far too good a series to be reading in the wrong order as I can guarantee you will feel the need to read more having read one.
McNab puts you inside the non-glamorous world of Nick Stone and shows you that no matter what Hollywood tells you, sometimes you just have to put your head down, run fast and hope to god they're not as good a shot as they think they are.

Andy McNabb and Nick Stone they go together like fish & chips. Great Story and I hope that Hollywood is knocking on Andy McNabb's door to actually put one of his books onto film.

McNab back to his best
After finishing the previous Nick Stone novel "Zero Hour" I was coming to the conclusion the series was getting a bit long in the tooth, good reads but no surprises. Read more

Not one of his best
I felt that this was not one of his best books.
It would seem that it lacks bite and story line.

Nick Stone has had a long career outside the SAS now. I wonder if he is trying to gently break it to us that now's the time to hang his boots up! Read more

Not bad.....

Excellent book
A great read - as cheesy as ever. continues in much the same way as all of the previous books in the series. If you enjoyed the others, you'll enjoy this one.
