I have read all of McNab's fiction masterpieces. Although they are great books some of them have a few boring spots. Not Recoil-This book has kept me on the edge of my seat on every page! The last book "Aggressor" saw the style of story that I had come to love return but "Recoil" improved on this story dramatically. I encourage you to buy this low priced book and read the whole series. Even if you don't like to read, I'm pretty sure you will love these books. Even though I'm sort of a slow reader and don't like books much, I read this entire book in about 2 days because I couldn't put it down. The story is mostly about the relationship between characters that have been introduced in the previous book of the series. Nick Stone tries to complete a task in an area that is a safe haven for danger (usually at the cost of a supporting character's life). A few of the previous books in the story were a bit dull on parts. However somehow McNab has managed to take a new English class or something which has led to this awesome book. This is now my second favorite behind the Harry Potter Series. If you like action I highly recommend you get this book. It is well worth the bit of money I spent and I look forward to the next book in the series.
