Product Description
Product Description
Nick Stone's future has never looked as bleak. The only person he's ever loved is dead. The only people who might give him a reason not to join her have turned their backs. Until a chance encounter with a man he saved ten years ago appears to throw him a lifeline...But on the bullet- and bomb -scarred streets of Baghdad, second chances are in short supply. A simple quest becomes a journey to the heart of a chilling conspiracy; too late, he realizes that he is being used as bait - to lure into the open a man he believes can offer some salvation, but whom the darker forces of the West will stop at nothing to destroy...From its violent and shocking opening in the Muslim enclaves of Bosnia, through vivid, lightning-paced action in war-torn Iraq, this unforgettable story proves Andy McNab yet again to be the master of the modern thriller, a writer at the very top of his game.

Format:Hardcover
I have just completed this book. As usual it is descriptive and authoritively written. There are no guesses at procedures or places, everything is plausible and based on reality. The actions and drills described are all very precise and accurate as you would expect from someone with AM's background. He has certainly stayed in touch with things since leaving the Regiment over 10 years ago. McNab's squaddie sense of humour really comes across well and I found myself regularly sniggering at little remarks and phrases.
As with nearly all of Andy's books this is one that can easily be read in one or two sittings. I did it in two. It's a great story and the author takes you right to the heart of the locations that he's describing.
The knowledge that AM shows of culture's and practices show he is no thick squaddie and are testament to what the army did for him when you consider his humble background.
The plot is a good one and an eye opener to some of the murky mentality of our so called 'right' way of thinking in the Western world.
One observation of the book is that it has over 100 chapters, it's not harmful to the plot, and comes in handy when wanting to stop to make a cuppa, but it's not a style I'm too familiar with.
All in all an excellent book and, as with Dark Winter back to the more familiar McNab / Stone formula.
A highly recommended read for any action fan.
Only problem is we have to wait until next year for the next instalment of Nick Stone's escapades..........

dark winter left me thinking what would happen to Nick stone. As deep black starts you get the impression stone should be dead, well he was thinking of 'topping' himself.nick stone is a very lonley and depressed man with nothing to live for and a heavy burden of guilt. until a man he saved ten years ago throws him a lifeline which in stones eyes isen't much until he realizes that his life is gradually sorting itself out in a place he calls home;baghdad.from its rock hard start you are grabbed by the neck and restrained into a posistion which you feel as though you are stone through the hardship of espionage and brute strenghth.when you finally read the ending you'll be stunned stiff at what mcnab conjures out of nothing.the book ends and so to does................

Andy McNab's form just gets better. This book contains the usual of all what we have come to expect and like of Andy McNab. But it's good to see his form get better as he more deeply explores the emotions of his characters. Turning an action story into a more explosive character analysis of those that would perpetrate evil. The book has a great pace and a great crescendo. Sometimes the book makes you want to be Nick Stone, and other times you're glad you aren't.
I also like his expose of current events in Bosnia etc. that don't quite make our newspapers. You can tell this man was a British Soldier due to his snipes at the Yanks which always make me laugh. This is a good read, it disappoints in some ways but that's only because Andy is not a literary genius, but he is a great storyteller and agent provocateur. Can't wait for The Aggressor in November !!

A good read!
Well after the last outing, Nick Stone appeared to be in dire straights. I thought McNab did an excellent job to get Stone back into action. Read more

Deep Black
A rather dull book compared to his previous novels. The storyline was not as gripping as Dark Winter and it didn't seem to have the same quality.

Not his best
Having read and enjoyed all his previous books, this one was a disappointment. The plot simply didn't hang together. Read more
