McNab's Nick Stone is the toughest of the tough, operating in a world of violent political espionage and most blood-letting, explosive of special ops... A rampaging book with a pace and scope that will keep you glued to the end

Andy McNab is on pulsating form with his 13th Nick Stone thriller

McNab's Army experience shines through this high-octane adventure

Another stunner... The pace of the narrative and the twists of the storyline make for compulsive and vastly entertaining reading

Irresistible. Smart and fast paced, with everything you want from an international spy thriller

'...bleak and gritty, but thoroughly believable'

'A first-rate geopolitical yarn... Fesperman combines his strong eye for detail with bleak film-noir cynicism'

'The violence level is high, and rendered so convincingly that at times I felt queasy. Fortunately for introspective readers, the violence is leavened by searing insights into human nature... I knew I could not sleep until finishing it'

'...a convincing, accurate thriller...this book is worth reading if only for the passage where the hero, Skelly, glimpses Osama Bin Laden at a public hanging; the scene both convinces and frightens'

Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind.

Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination.

Patterson is in a class by himself.

[Patterson's] books don't pussyfoot around when it comes to the villains. These are bad, bad people ... with a lot of intrigue in high places.
