has Andy McNab finally killed off Nick Stone then?
As for his work, I gave up about a decade ago, they felt like he shoehorned the same story into different circumstances to trot them out just before Xmas each year.
His *cough* non-fiction works are better.
Bravo Two Zero the fictional story of his famous mission is pretty good. It reads a little bit like Hot Shots Part Deux in places, but it’s fun.
Immediate Action is the sort or prequel which I actually preferred. It’s supposedly more closely aligned to the truth.
Seven Troop is the sort of sad partner to the above when he tells the story of how everyone involved in the above completely failed to readjust to ‘civvy street’ started off as mavericks and generally ended up sad and lonely, but mostly dead in increasingly sad circumstances. I’d probably give it a miss TBH.
As for other authors, Layer Cake by JJ Connelly is excellent, it’s from 2000 and in the same vein as Lock Stock and all that, probably hasn’t aged well, but it’s a fun, sometimes funny book of a bunch of Gangsters doing a bunch of Gangster shit.
Any of the above should be about 3p in all good charity shops.
No, I don’t do highbrow.
