    About this ebook

    Inspired by his own career as a special forces soldier, Andy McNab debuts his best-selling series with action-packed, high-octane Remote Control, a thrilling page turn you won't be able to put down featuring ex-SAS trooper Nick Stone.

    Tough, resourceful, ruthless - as a Special Air Service (SAS) trooper, Nick Stone was one of the best. Now he's back on the streets. After a botched mission, the Regiment no longer want his services, but British Intelligence does - as a deniable operator. It's the dirtiest job in a very, very dirty world.

    In Washington DC, it's about to get dirtier still. On the apparently routine tail of two terrorists, Stone discovers the bodies of an ex-SAS officer and his family. Soon he's on the run with the lone survivor of the bloodbath - a seven-year-old girl. And whilst she can identify the killers, only Stone can keep them at bay - and solve a mystery whose genesis takes him back to the most notorious SAS mission in recent history...

    Remote Control is the first of Andy McNab's nineteen Nick Stone thrillers - bestsellers whose landscape is so compellingly close to the truth that they had to be vetted by the Ministry of Defense, and could only be published as fiction...

      "Remote Control" is the first in the nick Stone series. With a British Intelligence Operator, I was expecting a spy story. What I got was basically the trials and tribulations of a kidnapper, trying to keep a 7 yr. old happy. It did have action from beginning to end, although it did drag on in some parts.There are flashbacks which I had to reread to see where it fit into the story. The result at the end was what should have happened near the beginning.

      This is the first Andy McNabb book I've read, after seeing them on bookshop shelves for the last twenty years or so. I'm glad I finally got around to actually reading one. :-)

      Characters
      The main character in this is Nick Stone, ex-SAS, now a freelancer doing deniable operations. Unsurprising, given that the author is ex-SAS, Nick rang true as a British Army soldier. The attitude and the slang - both different from American - were exactly right. Yes, he's your tough-guy hero - but in a very British way. :-)

      Plot
      To be fair, there wasn't actually much of a plot. There was a lot of running around trying to find things, or people. The twist at the end was a wee bit obvious. This is one of those books that is more about the journey than the destination: it's about watching how Nick deals with the problems (including Kelly), rather than the solutions to the problems or even the problems themselves.

      But...
      It was still a good, exciting read. I think the evolution of the relationship between Nick and Kelly was done well, and pretty realistically. Will I read the next one? Definitely!

      Quite good.Iloved reading of narrow escapes=]

      WWAMDYou know those little bracelets the Jesus freaks wear, "What Would Jesus Do?" Well, I want "What Would Andy Mcnab Do?" Who the heck is Andy Mcnab? Google him, it's rather interesting to see someone be the real deal.Anyway, he has a much better series of his non-fiction, but this is the first of his fiction I've tried. Wasn't bad, wasn't great, I'll try another one. It reminds me much of Richard Sharpe, in that he is basically a rather bad fellow, doing what he feels is necessary at the time. Not a lot of traditional action heroes routinely mug people to get cash. I can appreciate that.

      A fairly average thriller, I've read better.

      Listened to the abridged book on tape. Good book to listen while exercising.
