Remote Control - Andy McNab

Andy McNab gripped two million readers with his international No. 1 bestsellers Bravo Two Zero and Immediate Action. Now comes an explosive début novel so authentic in its operational detail that it moves the action thriller into another dimension.

Nick Stone left the Special Air Service in 1993, five years after being involved in the shooting of IRA terrorists in Gibraltar. Now working for British Intelligence on deniable operations, he discovers the seemingly senseless murders of fellow SAS soldier Kev Brown and his family in Washington, DC. Only Kelly, seven years old, has survived – and immediately the two of them are on the run from unidentified pursuers. Stone doesn’t even know which of them is the target.

Stone is a master of his trade, resourceful and ruthless. On his own, he would stand a chance of escape. But, needing to protect the girl, he is hamstrung as together they are plunged into a dark world of violence and corruption in which friend cannot be told from foe.

As the blistering narrative drives to its blazing and unexpected climax, Stone discovers the shocking truth about governments, terrorism and commerce – and the greed that binds the three together.

Remote Control is a new kind of thriller, gritty, vivid and menacing, with a pace that never lets up. Other thriller writers talk the talk. Only McNab has walked the walk.
