Ratings and reviews

Not what I expected 😑 so far away from the action and plots that gripped me in his previous books! Agree with other reviews. I too think it was a mess.

No, it's not a Nick Stone book but was looking forward to seeing what else McNab could offer as a writer. This was a huge disappointment. Needed some kind of backstory as to why the characters were doing what they were doing. It was just a mess. No real story or depth, no likeable characters, couldn't even finish it, just lost interest. From usually an exciting story writer, was surprised how bad this was.

THIS IS NOT ONE OF THE NICK STONE BOOKS just a heads up for anyone else who gets directed here by searching for the nick stone books. not a bad book but not even similar to the nick stone series.
