About this deal
We at Penguin Random House Australia acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians and the first storytellers of the lands on which we live and work. Maybe it is because the main character is being forced into a project with people threatening his family. The veracity of McNab's first book, Bravo Two Zero, has been questioned by Michael Asher, an explorer, Arabist and former SAS reservist, who visited Iraq with a Channel 4 film crew, and interviewed many eyewitnesses. By that time, McNab was suffering from nerve damage to both hands, a dislocated shoulder, kidney and liver damage, and hepatitis B.

This has been corroborated by Peter Ratcliffe, who was regimental sergeant major of 22 SAS Regiment during the Gulf War, who stated that, in a debriefing to the entire Regiment, recorded on video, none of the patrol members mentioned contacts with large numbers of enemies or any of the other extraordinary incidents included in the books. Until his solo crusade falls foul of the very people he seeks to rob – the one per centers, the people who own the bulk of the world’s wealth. As ever, McNab serves up plenty of thrills and spills with bags of tension throughout, but there was something about the plot that just failed to grab me by the throat the way his books normally do. The story itself was strange and very political in its wish for a one world government and that humanity would be saved by the “cognitive elites”. I liked the characters, especially the inscrutable Mr Egbers, who at first seems straight off the Bond villain central casting couch, but as the book progresses he comes over in a very different light, and ticks my favourite box when antagonists have to work together to ensure their survival.He wants payback and has developed an original way of getting his own back in a rather more direct way than writing irate letters to newspapers or trying to get his point over on TV.

The last part was about the robbery itself and how this man and friends try to get away without being caught. Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK, works in the film industry advising Hollywood on everything from covert procedure to training civilian actors to act like soldiers. He failed the entry test for training as an army pilot, but enlisted with the Royal Green Jackets at the age of sixteen after being released from juvenile detention. Pretty sure nobody believes the president of the USA is the most important and bestest person in the world anymore?

The enemy episode begins when Stone discovers a horrifying secret and is forced to run for his life. I found one of the twist things was obvious, the later one, not so much but they're vaguely plausible and definitely interesting, if you're into thinking like Dr. As a member of 22 SAS he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years – on five continents. During the Gulf War, McNab commanded an eight-man SAS patrol, designated Bravo Two Zero, that was given the task of destroying underground communication links between Baghdad and north-west Iraq and with tracking Scud missile movements in the region.
