Superb, a truly original piece of work, perhaps his most engaging since ‘Remote Control’. My reasoning for that statement is based partly upon the thrilling, engaging plot line, but also because we seem to be given some more peeks behind his background, both his childhood and his military service activities; perhaps even the reasons behind his obsessive security measures. We also learn more about Nick Stone’s persona, how he still feels about the memory of Kelly and how he deals with those memories. We are re-introduced to some old foes too, an invisible saditty award to those who can instantly recall the book in which we were first introduced to Sundance and Trainers without looking it up! We learn that the author has surely been into some very dodgy establishments in Afghanistan, I mean, could you really, really make up these scenarios with such penetrating detail? Absolute gem of a read, oh, and still very funny in places.

Non stop action from a trusted author.
I just wish he would explain some of the military abbreviations, it cost the fifth star !
by David Middleton
From the start to the finish, this story had me gripped all the way through, with surprising twists and turns on nearly every page. What a writer what a mind. Great read, you feel that you are in the story.

I like Andy McNab and have read many of them but it seems that recent novels have more and more padding in them. Operational details are interesting and important but sometimes leave you impatient for some action. In this book the first action takes place about 35% of the way through. It just wasn’t a “Page Turner.” There are a lot of good action writers out there and McNab is falling behind them in the action stakes.

I must echo that reviewer’s opinion – McNab’s novels are always outstanding, but Crossfire really is first among equals! Totally believable storyline and characters, and seat of your pants action from the first page to the last – what more could you want, except maybe two or three more McNabs a year?! My only regret is that – as always – I’ve devoured the latest in just a few sittings, but at least I can go back and savour the humour, darkness and brilliantly atmospheric writing all over again. (Another great book just out is Eight Lives Down.)

I have really enjoyed all the nick stone books thus far can’t wait to read all the rest Andy Mcnab is a fantastic writer
by Colin King
Another great read with non stop action. Concentration is required as the action swings from one situation to another. So much goes on you have to concentrate to remember what has gone before.

Just reading all of the Nick stone books again because they are just amazing.
Ex SAS Stone is on a job bodyguarding 2 reporters from Ireland, one of them manages to save his life, but is kidnapped several hours later and his camera man is shot dead.
Stone goes on a trail to find him that takes him to Dublin, Kabul etc., the Yes Man is around so we all know that it will not be an easy time for Stone, but when he is kidnapped himself and waterboarded by some Serbs, will it be the end for this hero of ours?
