Book description
A cargo ship is apprehended by the authorities off the coast of
Spain, loaded to the gunwales with enough arms and ammunition to start
a war. Twenty years later, an unknown aggressor seems intent on
eradicating those responsible for the treachery, one by one. The last
victim was brutally tortured with a Black & Decker drill, then
shot through the head. And Nick Stone - ex-SAS, tough, resourceful,
ruthless, highly trained - is next on the killer's list . . .
In his most daunting mission yet, Nick Stone must find a man who
shared that past, and who may know more about the present threat than
he is prepared to reveal. As the two find themselves pursued across
sea and desert, they become ever more enmeshed in a deadly network of
betrayal, to which Stone himself unwittingly holds the key. And in a
final confrontation that echoes his worst nightmares, only he can stop
the unthinkable and save the lives of those he holds most dear.
Andy McNab joined the infantry as a boy soldier. In 1984 he was
'badged' as a member of 22 SAS Regiment and was involved in both
covert and overt special operations worldwide. During the Gulf War he
commanded Bravo Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his
commanding officer, 'will remain in regimental history for ever'.
Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal
(MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most
highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS in
February 1993. He wrote about his experiences in three books: the
phenomenal bestseller Bravo Two Zero, Immediate Action
and Seven Troop.
He is the author of the bestselling Nick Stone thrillers. Besides
his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in
both the USA and UK. He is a patron of the Help for Heroes campaign.
