Product Information

This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. From the day he was found in a carrier bag on the steps of Guy's Hospital in London, Andy McNab has led an extraordinary life. Stone must now be well over forty and the author can’t just keep re-booting stories without serious character development.

I wasn't sure where this was going to start with, based in Cornwall and not the usual exotic or thrilling locations in these novels. Security was so much better now than it had been in my thieving days, when you knew you could just smash the unprotected float-glass and grab a fistful of coins from the gas and electricity meters – and then probably take a dump in the sink for a laugh.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. Nick Stone and his chums are under threat from the bad guy from the previous book, so of course they go and work for him. The beginning of the book starts out slowly with the build up half way through, when the real action happens. As a member of 22 SAS he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years – on five continents. We honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' continuous connection to Country, waters, skies and communities.

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. None of us four memory-stick holders knew where the other three were hidden, and Claudia held the fifth copy that all four of us would soon have access to. Seeing Stone operate on home soil again was interesting, especially when the action takes him and the team to my home city of Bristol. The swirly carpet was almost thread-bare, and had probably been very smart when Pete’s mum installed it. His main character has lost an “adopted daughter” in his early books, then lost a wife and son in later books, made millions and then lost access to it….De prijs die hij voor deze ervaring moet betalen is dat hij niet herkenbaar in beeld gebracht wil worden. Andy McNab has written about his experiences in the SAS in two bestselling books, Bravo Two Zero (1993) and Immediate Action (1995). A half-eaten bread roll sat on the glass coffee-table, along with a spoon and a bowl, both encrusted with dried soup.

It would be right up his street because he’d be the ultimate undercover operator, a Rasta with only one good arm. In exchange for his own safety – a life for a life – Stone is charged with locating someone who doesn’t want to be found, currently hiding out in the one of the remotest corners of the UK.It wasn’t brain surgery: it was just stripping away the rubbish that meant nothing and didn’t help in working out what had happened and what we were going to do about it.

So I was gutted to find this is a bit of a continuation with McNab and his disabled ex-servicemen still together and dealing with the fall-out from the previous book. I jumped the final couple of metres, arms outstretched, head down so I didn’t knock myself out on his body. In exchange for his own safety, he is charged with locating someone who doesn’t want to be found, currently hiding out in one of the remotest corners in the UK – and this time Stone is not operating alone.A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Backed into a corner by a man he knows he cannot trust, ex-deniable operator Nick Stone strikes a devil's bargain. I split left, he split right around a couple of young women with buggies, toddlers dragging along in their wake.
