About this book

Description

Nick Stone left the Special Air Service in 1988, not long after being involved in the shooting of three IRA terrorists in Gibraltar. Now Nick is working for the British Intelligence Service on deniable operations. He discovers the seemingly senseless murders of a fellow SAS soldier Kev Brown and his family in Washington, DC. Only Kelly, their seven-year-old daughter, has survived - and immediately the two of them are on the run from unknown pursuers. People who Stone doesn’t even know. Stone doesn’t know whether it is he or Kelly or both of them are the target. Stone is a master of his trade resourceful and ruthless and on his own, he would stand a chance of escape. But, needing to protect the girl, he is hamstrung and vulnerable. Together Nick and Kelly are plunged into the dark world of violence and corruption. A world in which friend and foe are indistinguishable. This novel moves at a blistering pace in which Stone realises the shocking truth about governments, terrorism and international commerce and how greed binds them together. Remote Control is a new kind of thriller, it is gritty, vivid and menacing that moves to an unexpected climax - with a pace that never lets up. Other thriller writers talk the talk, only McNab has walked the walk. Condition the book shows signs of wear on the cover, the binding is good.
