Down to the Wire (Nick Stone, book 20) by Andy McNab

While some action is a word perfect repeat of previous methods of hand to hand combat, it both feels familiar in an 'old friend ' way and is quite a likely scenario for a desperate exSAS operative to revert to what has worked before. Andy McNab has written about his experiences in the SAS in two bestselling books, Bravo Two Zero (1993) and Immediate Action (1995). I always find Andy McNab [Nick Stone] great escapism, and this one was better than many because he was not geting bossed around by women or hooked into a relationship, which often brings the plot down to the mundane.

A sinister cult Tasked with rescuing the daughter of one of America's richest families from the grips of a sinister cult, Nick Stone expects his latest mission to be quick and straightforward. Nick soon discovers himself at the heart of a chilling cyber conspiracy that threatens war with Russia and the very existence of the Western alliance and following a shock diagnosis his body is failing fast.
