A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

From the day he was found in a carrier bag on the steps of Guy's Hospital in London, Andy McNab has led an extraordinary life.

As a teenage delinquent, Andy McNab kicked against society. As a young soldier he waged war against the IRA in the streets and fields of South Armagh. As a member of 22 SAS he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years – on five continents. During the Gulf War he commanded Bravo Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his commanding officer, 'will remain in regimental history for ever'. Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS.

Since then Andy McNab has become one of the world’s best-selling writers, drawing on his insider knowledge and experience. As well as several non-fiction bestsellers including Bravo Two Zero, the biggest selling British work of military history, he is the author of the best-selling Nick Stone and Tom Buckingham thrillers. He has also written a number of books for children.

Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK, works in the film industry advising Hollywood on everything from covert procedure to training civilian actors to act like soldiers. He continues to be a spokesperson and fundraiser for both military and literacy charities.

Revue de presse :

"With Exit Wound, McNab has carried the flame of his internationally acclaimed hero to its most breathless destination yet...the language he uses is full of quirky phrases, bullet-bouncing humour and technical savvy...A good, grit-crunching yarn" (Sunday Express)

"Nick Stone is emerging as one of the great all-action characters of recent times. Like his creator, the ex-SAS soldier turned uber agent is unstoppable." (Daily Mirror)

"Ticking like a time-bomb brimming with terror and threat, Andy McNab's latest Nick Stone adventure is a high-voltage story of corruption and cover-up" (Yorkshire Evening Post)

"more sophisticated than his first outing, but with all the brute force and kinetic action we want from him... ensures a lively ride for the reader." (Good Book Guide)

"[Nick] Stone is a deceptively complex action hero who does as good a job as many a newspaper columnist in guiding us through the new global politics." (Mail on Sunday)
