View 1 comment. Mar 31, XOX rated it really liked it. Nick Stone going to save a journalist Journalists Pete and Dom are doing war stories. The story moved from an exciting journalists protection duty to a rescue mission.
Now who has Dom and what they want with him? As the story progress, drug dealers were involved and asked for ransom.
So Nice tried to do is right, finding the kidnapped journalist. The action is okay. Story is a bit on the weird side, like too many sick macho guys in the war zone. Still a good read. Reading this as the Book task for Door 7 completed. I feel as though I've just spent the last few hours rummaging around in the hot and dusty backstreets of Kabul with Nick Stone rescuing a renowned TV presenter who got himself involved with some rather shady characters.
McNab's first hand military experience has certainly paid off to bring his very different literary world to life to avid readers around the world. I think I've read pages in a couple of hours forgetting dinner, the bright sunny weather and numerous phone calls and am com Wow!
I think I've read pages in a couple of hours forgetting dinner, the bright sunny weather and numerous phone calls and am completely and utterly exhausted from the realism and tension that I've taken in. You can feel the blood, sweat, tears and more blood come to life amongst the gritty and lawless backdrops of modern day Kabul, the restless and tense atmosphere of Basra and the hidden but still very hostile backstreets of Dublin.
Brilliant stuff. Dec 16, Daniel Goh rated it it was amazing. The author being a former operator himself; this is as close as it gets to the real thing. Somehow I have a strong feeling this book is a fictionalized account of something that really took place and the author replaced the names for anonymity.
A real good read with a healthy dose of sarcastic British humour. Feb 06, Kim rated it it was amazing. I have no idea how authentic the details are, but I really enjoyed the story. I was gripped pretty early on and enjoyed the ride that much, it was over before I knew it.
Will definitely be looking to read more Aug 28, Tom Fletcher rated it it was amazing. This was my first Andy McNab book. I loved the way he paired fiction and fact, with a lot of action and excitement included.
One of my favourite books I have ever read, exciting and completely different from any of his other Nick Stone books. Jan 05, Kieran Delaney rated it it was amazing. This book is excellent - from a gritty uncomplicated lead who is well rounded and extremely well written to a multinational setting the story veers wildly from twist to turn.
Jun 27, Ralph Halse rated it it was amazing. McNab is an excellent writer whose efforts to deliverance enjoyable product are most appreciated, particularly impressive is his attention to detail along with a sense of reality tied to a work of fiction.
Crossfire is a very entertaining book which shows how a group of solders are being changed from active duty to semi active duty by protecting a camera crew in a very hostile world. Jul 29, Neil rated it it was amazing. This is one of the better ones in the Nick Stone series, a really good read. Aug 14, Jim Whitefield rated it it was amazing. Another great read in the Nick Stone series. Couldn't put it down. Andy McNab always seems to be at his best and never disappoints. For me this is the best book of the Nick Stone series.
Constant action so much detail I felt like I was right there! Dec 11, stevekeiretsu rated it it was ok. As far as Nick Stone books go I found this one on the disappointing side. The first few chapters in Basra really dragged, with almost impenetrable amounts of army jargon and acronyms, and ultimately no real bearing on the story.
Only one thing happened necessary to set up the rest of the book and that could have been handled in a prologue of a couple of pages not several chapters.
Although this sounds terrible to say it felt a bit like they were only there to justify the book's dedication to real As far as Nick Stone books go I found this one on the disappointing side. Although this sounds terrible to say it felt a bit like they were only there to justify the book's dedication to real-life British army casualties from Basra.
Not terrible in either department by any means but not as good as some others. Skimming other people's reviews I've discovered a reason for this which is that apparently this book concludes running storylines I'm guessing the Yes Man? Your Rating:.
