Product Description

Product Description
December 2001. A Zodiac inflatable slips away from a submarine off the Algerian coast. If he hadn't needed American citizenship so badly, Nick Stone wouldn't have agreed to do this one last job, but the CIA's offer of a new life in the United States is one he cannot refuse. The job seems simple enough for a man of his particular skills: kill a money-laundering local businessman and bring back his severed head to the West. But Stone has not been told the full story - in realtiy the job has only just begun. Operating in the dangerous underworld of the South of France, he is in at the deep end of a very dirty war. And in the most daunting mission he has yet undertaken, as one bloody twist leads to another, Stone ultimately finds himself confronted by the most desperate dilemma a man could ever face.

From the Back Cover
A Zodiac inflatable slips away from a submarine off the North African coast. If he hadn't needed American citizenship so badly, Nick Stone wouldn't have agreed to do this one last job, but the CIA's offer of a new life in the United States, and the chance to share it with Carrie, the woman he's fallen in love with, is one he cannot refuse.

The job seems simple enough for a man of his particular skills: infiltrate the hostile and violent republic of Algeria, kill a money-laundering local businessman, and bring back his severed head to the West. Stone isn't told why the man has to die like this, and there are some questions you just don't ask.

But with events unfolding dangerously fast, Stone realizes that he has by no means been told the full story. Operating in the perilous underworld of the south of France, Stone is in at the deep end of a very dirty war. In the most daunting mission he has yet undertaken, Stone ultimately finds himself confronted by the most desperate dilemma a man could ever face.

5.0 out of 5 stars Head and shoulders above the rest, 3 Oct 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Liberation Day (Hardcover)
This is a must read for any fan of the genre. McNab's writing has got better and better with each of his books, and his realism and 'been there, done that' aura is unmatched.

I became a fan after reading Bravo Two Zero and Immediate Action. I greatly anticipated his foray into the fictional world, and have not been disappointed. Now comes Liberation Day, his 5th (?) Nick Stone adventure.

The realism of McNab's writing is what sets it apart. No gadgets, no satellites, no giant technological leaps. His characters are believable, they do believable things, and they use common tools. His Leatherman is his best friend.

If you've never read McNab, then I highly recommend him to you. Do yourself a favour and read his books in order. You'll realize just how far short the rest of the pack has fallen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book but completely different style, 18 Oct 2002
This review is from: Liberation Day (Hardcover)
Having read all previous Andy McNab books and thoroughly enjoyed every page I can safely say that this latest offering has continued this trend.

If you liked his previous books where constant enemy evation and firefights flow from page to page this book won't compare. It is gritty and highly realistic with a must-carry-on-reading storyline but not because of the non stop action, it relies on the day to day realism of Nick Stone's work to carry it through, which it does superbly.

All in all a great read and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thumb blistering., 2 Jan 2003
By john lucas (Norfolk, England.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Liberation Day (Hardcover)
Two days ago I took the book from its new home, the shelf above my p.c. with all McNab's others.......I have heard people say such things as..."Oh, I couldn't put it down, it was rivetting". I had never known quite how you could run your life around a book. But with this one, I had to.
Every page I turned got me deeper and deeper into the plot. (Being ex-army myself, I could almost live the story with him.)
It's a story of the ever increasingly important anti/counter terrorism where West meets all sorts including the al-Qaeda.
New friends are made(and lost) and it seems that they have no allies except themselves and the local cafes. Always on the move and continually chasing after the 'bad guys', Nick's back to kick ass. (But not before he gets his own kicked first).
The way in which McNab makes the book lead up to each of the events that happen, really have you compelled and left guessing as to what the hell's he going to do now? and then boooom (nice one Hubba) he comes in with something that you wouldn't have dreamed of.
Parts of the book had me clenching my hands while holding it as if I was trying to push my fingers through the covers. I was sure I would have blisters on my thumbs where I had squeezed the book so hard as I took the pain that McNabs characters were receiving. It really felt you were part of the story.
The only bad bit about the book was....it had an end.
