Andy McNab – Remote Control

Andy McNab – Remote Control

Andy McNab:
like me joined the British Army as a boy soldier (except I was Royal Signals and he was Infantry) . Totally unlike me in 1984 he was ‘badged’ as a member of 22 SAS Regiment and was involved in both covert and overt special operations worldwide. During the Gulf War he commanded Bravo Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his commanding officer, ‘will remain in regimental history for ever’. Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army’s most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS in February 1993. He wrote about his experiences in two phenomenal bestsellers, Bravo Two-Zero: The true story of an SAS Patrol behind enemy lines in Iraq, which was filmed in 1998 starring Sean Bean, and Immediate Action. He is the author of the bestselling novels, Remote Control, Crisis Four, Firewall, Last Light, Liberation Day and Dark Winter. In addition to his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK.

Remote Control

Nick Stone left the Special Air Service soon after the shooting of three IRA terrorists in Gibraltar Now with British Intelligence on deniable operations, he discovers the seemingly senseless murders of a fellow SAS soldier Kev Brown and his family in Washington, DC. Only Kelly, the seven year old daughter of the family has survived, and immediately the two of them are on the run from unidentified pursuers.Stone doesn’t even know which of them is the target.

On his own, Stone stands a chance of escape. But he (reluctantly) needs to protect the girl and together they plunge into a dark world of violence and corruption in which friend cannot be told from foe. As events draw to their blazing and unexpected climax, Stone discovers the shocking truth about governments, terrorism and commerce – and the greed that binds the three together…

Remote Control is a new kind of thriller, gritty, vivid and menacing, with a pace that never lets up. Other thriller-writers talk the talk. Only McNab has walked the walk.

In fact its a gentle tale of skulduggery that I highly recommend for that afternoon with nothing else to-do but relax with beer or glass of wine. It is also the start of the Nick Stone series that McNab uses to show his obvious disdain of the ruling class in the UK.

A good read
