Product Description

Product Description

A lethal new drug with devastating side effects, known as Meltdown, is threatening to destabilize society. Dudley knows that the security services have to act fast, and when his 4 x 4 arrives at their remote hideout in the Canadian lakes, eighteen-year-old Danny and his grandfather, ex-SAS hero Fergus Watts, are once again sucked into a deadly undercover operation and a race against time. Their search for the mastermind behind a pair of murderous gangland twins takes them from the clubs of Manchester to Spain and Germany, and Danny needs all his newly learned expertise when he comes up against an old adversary - someone he hoped never to encounter again. And this time, when the battle is joined, it is a battle to the end.


From the Inside Flap

A terrifying new drug with devasting side effects is threatening to destablize society: who is behind it? The British security services must find out before a global threat is unleashed.

When a 4 x 4 arrives at their remote hideout in the Canadian lakes, eighteent-year-old Danny and his Grandfather, ex SAS-hero Fergus Watts, are once again sucked into a deadly undercover operation and a race against time.

But as Dannt and Fergus follow the trail of destruction from the clubs of Manchester to Spain and Germany, they discover that someone else is shadowing their every move; someone they hoped never to encounter again. And this time, when the battle is joined, it is a battle to the end.

The fourth book in the Boy Soldier sequence is another explosive, fast-moving and thrilling adventure, packed with authentic detail from Andy McNab's SAS expertise. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can this really be the end?, 13 May 2007
This review is from: Meltdown (Boy Soldier) (Hardcover)
What a fantastic finale! I say that but at the same time I think it's a travesty that Meltdown is the last book of this excellent series - can the authors and publishers not be encouraged to continue it??
What I loved particularly about Meltdown was the fact that the authors successfully went for yet another topical and challenging subject and made it interesting, engaging and thought-provoking but also ultimately entertaining. Reading the Boy Soldier series inspired me to try one of Andy McNab's adult books but I'm afraid I didn't like it at all - despite being for 'young people' I find the Boy Soldier books far superior (and more mature) in every way, particularly in terms of the writing and characterisation. And that I know a wide variety of people between the ages of 12 and 80 who have also read and loved them all I think illustrates this perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book from the boy soldier series, 4 Aug 2007
By C. Flynn (Bedfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Meltdown (Paperback)
A very well written fourth novel in an exceptional series of thriller/action books. The first of these books is a must read in order to learn the characters ('Boy Soldier'). 'Avenger' is darker, deeper and even more thought provoking than the previous two novels of the series. The principal characters have developed in such a way as to draw us into their world, and to feel and live every moment of their complex lives, almost as if we were there along side them ourselves! Wonderful stuff!! A great read and a great series. Highly recommended for ages 12 to adult. A true page turner through and through!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great story from McNab, 5 Jun 2007
This review is from: Meltdown (Boy Soldier) (Hardcover)
What a great finish! It is a real shame it has ended though. But if you like McNab's stories it says on his website andymcnab.co.uk he is launching short audio stories for mobiles phones - sounds interesting.
