This book unlike Andy McNabs most famous book 'Bravo Two Zero' is eintirly fictional and is part of a series of books following Agent Nick stone a deniable agent (sort of like a realistic James Bond)

Although the plot is fictional it is evident that Andy McNab was actually part of the special forces, his experiance comes through in the details of his writing.

The plot follows nick stone as he tracks down a friend who has put herself in danger by doing charitable work in africa. the story takes us to serveral different locals. as with all of Andy McNabs writing everything is backed up by his real life experiance and the story definatly follows current world events

This was the second book i read in the Nick Stone series the first being Dark Winter. I have to say this book did not grip me as much as the previous book and the plot seemed lacking in parts. with not much happening for the majoriy of the book.

Although a good book thisis definatly not Nick Stone or Andy McNabs finest hour
