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. I am a fast reader and the fact that (I think) this is my first ever 1 star review reflects how I feel I wasted 5 days struggling through this (its NO page turner. and that following a shocking diagnosis his body is failing him fast, and any day now he will have to ask himself the ultimate question.

If this is, indeed, the last Nick Stone book, the author has rewarded his readers with a very tepid end.Its the last in the Nick Stone series and AM has written it like that too, almost as if he couldnt be bothered to think up a decent enough plot line to pension Nick off. And this is quite a slow and dull book too making it an effort to turn the pages and, even worse, care about the main character.

The central character in all the books is Nick Stone, a tough ex-SAS operative working as a 'K' on deniable operations for British Intelligence. Started off as a good read but fell off in my eyes when he reached the settlement where Mary ‘was being held’.honestly, it is a book full of blablabla, some old pals which resemble his last sort of family, NO mentioning of any of his former life or adventures, NO considerable action, no nothing, if it is not the last nick stone novel (as promised within the book), it definitely will be the lasts for me.

In 1984 he was 'badged' as a member of 22 SAS Regiment and was involved in both covert and overt special operations worldwide. The BBC's film of Bravo Two Zero, starring Sean Bean, was shown on primetime BBC 1 television in 1999 and released on DVD in 2000. It’s almost like he’s had a reset over the last two or three books and events from before that are irrelevant.

The story just never seemed to get going , the plot was weak and predictable with long passages of dialogue and very little action. As well as several non-fiction bestsellers including Bravo Two Zero, the biggest selling British work of military history, he is the author of the best-selling Nick Stone and Tom Buckingham thrillers.
